AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas said on their websites that moviegoers who are not fully vaccinated will be asked to continue wearing masks, and that other social-distancing measures and cleaning protocols will remain in place.
“In accordance with CDC guidelines, masks are not required for guests who are fully vaccinated,” AMC said on its website, referring to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. “If you are not fully vaccinated, we ask that you continue to wear a mask throughout the theatre unless actively enjoying food or drinks.”
Similar updates to mask policy were made on Regal and Cinemark websites. All three chains said they would follow state and local mandates on mask wearing, which may be different from the CDC guidelines.
The changes for movie theatres come two weeks after the CDC said that fully vaccinated people need not wear masks in any setting.
