The end of Indiana’s mask mandate doesn’t mean the end of masks. While the state is still recommending masks, Governor Holcomb announced Tuesday they” no longer be required, starting April 6. But at least six counties, including Marion County, have their own mask orders, and businesses can still require them. The Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association says most hotel chains have national mask policies, and many chain restaurants will require masks as part of their franchise agreements. President Patrick Tamm says a quick check-in with independent restaurants after Holcomb’s address found a mixed bag: some will ditch the masks, some will continue to require them, and some plan to require them for employees but not for customers.
