Universal has just announced another update to their face masks policy. Previously we reported when Universal Orlando Resort lifted their mask restrictions to allow Guests the option of not wearing their masks when outdoors, but requiring face masks to enter an attraction or enter an indoor location.

Now, Universal has stated that no masks will be required for Guest visiting the Resort who are fully vaccinated. Here are the details, and when this new rule goes into effect.

Team Members are confirmed to still wear masks onstage out of what Universal is calling, “an abundance of caution”.  However, when Team Members are backstage, if they are fully vaccinated they will be able to remove their masks.
