An order that required people to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces in the US city of Boston, including restaurants, shops, museums and entertainment venues, has been lifted, reports AP.
Boston follows New York, Los Angeles and other major US cities that are relaxing pandemic restrictions as officials push for more normalcy after two gruelling years of the pandemic.
City public health Commissioner Dr Bisola Ojikutu, in conjunction with the city health board, made the decision earlier this week citing a steep decline in new coronavirus infections and hospitalisations as well as high vaccination rates.
