Here is a list of all countries, where you can enjoy fully mask free travel.

Norway ๐ณ๐ด
Norway dropped the requirement to wear face masks in public in February and is now fully unrestricted.
Iceland ๐ฎ๐ธ
Iceland is another country which has been mask free for some time and has adopted a pragmatic approach to living with covid.

Finland has now ended its general mask recommendation for public places, the last of the Nordic nations to do so. The country is now fully mask free.
Estonia ๐ช๐ช
Estonia has been mask free for several weeks in all public places.
Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ
The Dutch scrapped their mask rules on public transport in March, the last area where masks were required.
Poland ๐ต๐ฑ
By all accounts, enforcement of Polands mask mandate was always patchy, but it has now been officially dropped.
Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ
Czech Republic ended its mask mandate for public transport on April 14.
Slovenia ๐ธ๐ฎ
Wearing a face mask in Slovenia is no longer mandatory.
Romania ๐ท๐ด
The requirement to wear a mask in public buildings and transport expired in March.
Bulgaria ๐ง๐ฌ
Face masks are recommended, but not mandatory, when using public transport.
USA ๐บ๐ธ
The USA no longer has a federal mask mandate, since a recent court decision overturning the CDC’s mandate for air, rail and bus travel. However, travellers are strongly advised to check any local mandates.
