SOUTH BEND – While Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb is lowering the state’s mask requirement to an advisory on April 6, the South Shore Line will continue to require passengers and employees to wear masks.

The South Shore Line follows federal mask orders, not state orders, according to a news release. Masks will still be required in all South Shore Line stations and on trains throughout Indiana and Illinois.

Passengers who don’t comply with the mask mandate will be subject to removal from trains.

Holcomb’s decision to lift the state’s mask mandate doesn’t affect orders by counties and other local jurisdictions, which can still decide to impose their own COVID-related restrictions.
