It was a little harder to recognize friendly faces around offices, shops, and restaurants Friday as New Brunswick's mandatory mask regulation took effect. Savage said most of his customers were already wearing masks anyway. "I would say 80 per cent of our customers coming in were wearing masks," he said, adding the store has been, and will continue, handing out disposable masks for customers entering the building. He said the mandatory mask regulation is probably the easiest thing to do that has been imposed on businesses since the start of the pandemic. Sarah McAdam, the co-ordinator of the Cultural Market in Fredericton, noticed more people wearing masks walking downtown Friday.
