In recent weeks, several Maine cities and towns have passed ordinances requiring the public to use face coverings when inside businesses and other places.

Since Portland's requirement went into effect Jan. 5, similar mandates have begun in Bath, Brunswick, Freeport and South Portland. Other communities, including Falmouth, have rejected such proposals. (And an update: On Monday, the city of Portland rescinded its mandate.)

Cases of COVID-19 in Maine surged in January, mostly due to the omicron variant's toll among unvaccinated people. However, the number of hospitalizations now appears to be waning.

As of Friday, 1,804 Mainers had died of COVID-associated causes.

Should more Maine communities require the use of face masks inside businesses and public spaces?
Yes (35%, 197 VOTES)
No (65%, 362 VOTES)
