Some Prince Edward Island residents say they're excited that masks are no longer required in most indoor spaces , while others are still hesitant to completely ditch their face coverings. "I think it's an awesome, awesome decision," said Island resident Elaine Ross about the dropping of mask requirements indoors. Mask requirements on the Island have been in place since November. At the briefing, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Heather Morrison said people should still wear masks if they aren't fully vaccinated and in certain situations, such as being in crowded spaces. It's been a long time since we've been able to talk about masks coming off versus masks going on."
