Mask Mandate in effect in National Parks

The National Park Service has implemented a mask requirement for employees, visitors, partners and contractors within the park.
National Park Service Public Health Director Captain Sara Newman says, “Getting outside and enjoying our public lands is essential to improving mental and physical health, but we all need to work together to recreate responsibly.”
Face masks are now required in all park buildings and facilities. Masks are also required on park service-managed lands when physical distancing cannot be maintained, including narrow or busy trails, overlooks and historic homes.
Additional public health measures are in place across the service, from capacity limits to one-way trails, or even temporary closures in response to local conditions.
Looking ahead, National Park Service Deputy Director Shawn Bengesays the agency will continue to evaluate operations and make appropriate modifications to visitor services as needed.
