The Vermont Legislature will convene a special session next week to take up a bill that would allow municipalities to implement local mask mandates.

The state of Vermont has adjusted its statewide mask mandate, but Woodstock Village officials are reminding residents that the village mask ordinance remains in effect, including for public outdoor locations.

On Aug. 1, Vermont will require everyone over age 2 to wear facial coverings in public spaces where six-foot social distancing is not possible, with some exceptions.
