NASCAR reinstating indoor mask policy amid COVID-19 delta spread
Fox News
NASCAR will again require masks in indoor areas at its events due to concerns raised by the COVID-19 delta variant. The new policy goes into effect at Watkins Glen International race weekend.
Series officials said that the decision was based "on the advice of NASCAR’s consulting physicians and recently issued medical guidance." NASCAR had started the process of easing restrictions in May when it no longer required them in outdoor and open air areas later allowed vaccinated personnel to go without masks inside buildings and haulers. The new policy is not specific to the New York race and will be in effect until further notice, according to Fox Sports NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass, with driver media availabilities moved outside.More Related News
