It's time to mask up! New York State requires individuals over the age of two (and able to medically tolerate a face-covering) to cover their nose and mouth with a mask or cloth face-covering when in a public place or business and unable to maintain, or when not maintaining, social distance. From face masks handmade by local makers, to bulk orders customized with a logo, there are a variety of places to find face masks in Albany County. Keep scrolling for a list of Albany boutiques, businesses and local online shops selling non-medical-grade face coverings.
