Masks obviously can't be worn while seated and enjoying a meal but most definitely should be worn when entering an establishment and when moving around in that establishment. On our recent visit to St. Thomas you definitely were made aware of this mandate that is in place for the protection of both visitors and residents ...and we never had an indoor meal. Outdoor dining places had the same rules as indoor and it was your preference where to dine. Bar service was to table only....I felt safe. Different environment and I guess I will find out for myself in January

oh...and outdoor restaurants, at least in MA have the same mask requirements as above.....guess it's state dependent in the USA
