That has to be negotiated on a state-by-state basis, I'd guess.

But a lot of people like me still wish to play it safe and wear a mask. So this is big update for us.
Me, and about 80% of the people I saw in two different stores in my area over the weekend.
Thanks for letting me know. I will adjust my plans to allow for that. ?
I know this is a loaded topic and I don't want to get into politics here, but let's just acknowledge that there are people--a lot? a few? whatever you want to think--that are for the continued wearing of masks quite aside from mandates. You could look at this as a mechanism by which mask wearing increases. Perhaps some percentage of those that don't currently wear them would wear them except for this issue, and might start wearing them again. That aside from mandates, the inclusion of this by Apple for recent iPhones could result in (what is considered by some to be) a public benefit. That's good!
Yep, FaceID feature to unlock when wearing a mask, except very few people are wearing masks anymore.
Oh well, at least we'll be ready for the next outbreak.
Notes in passwords is bringing us one step closer to a proper password manager...
Hopefully, this will fix the Apple Classroom bugs. A lot of the teachers in my school only see student iPads as "Offline" even when they're right next to the teacher's iPad and on.
In Passwords, I think the password being hidden until you tap on it is new. The monotypeface used for the password looks different too but I’m less sure about that.
Seems a bit late, rule to have masks indoors in public places has been removed where I live (Vancouver, Canada)
The problem was that MacOS and iOS/IPadOS RC news was posted the same time that all the post peek performance event threads were being made and the server was slow. (Tuesday 11:19 AM PST) Yes it was like an avalanche, and it got buried.

iOS 15.4 and IPadOS 15.4 should be heavily downloaded due to what it entails.
When you can turn off the App Library I’ll start thinking about it. Until them I’m still going to look for another iPad mini 5th on iOS14.
Hospitals, health facilities, airlines, and public transportation all still have mask mandates and likely will for a while.
one more month they say, here in the USA... but by then we may have a new variant or spread pick up like it is in China again
Actually there are a lot of people who wear masks in their daily lives (regardless of the pandemic) and this will make it easier for them. I still wear my mask, while I am out or at work, because I have health issues and I do not count on the fact that the person trying to breath in my face (people like to stand on top of people these days) is as careful as I am.
