Mask Requirement Removed for Fully Vaccinated Individuals

Jun 25, 2021

AKWESASNE — The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Emergency Operations Center announced further easing of the mask requirement for individuals who are fully vaccinated. The easing is in response to increasing vaccination numbers and no COVID-19 cases reported during the previous 23 days.

Effective today, fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask outdoors or indoors under the Tribe’s jurisdiction, with the exception of all tribal facilities. Individuals who are not vaccinated however, are still required to wear a mask at all indoor public places, as well as outdoors when social distancing cannot be maintained.

Non-vaccinated individuals are asked to please comply, as wearing a mask is an important safety measure to help prevent the spread of the virus. It not only protects yourself, but also those who cannot receive the vaccine due to their age or health condition.

If you have a non-emergency matter, please call the Emergency Operations Center at (518) 320-0019; Monday-Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
