From the Press Release:
Starting Thursday, NB Liquor will require all patrons to wear face masks when shopping at their corporate stores.
**Note the press release indicates the reasoning is to allow greater capacity in the stores, meaning they are trading social distancing for masking.

As it pertains to mandatory masks in NB, from Premier Highs - "There is a possibility we will implement this next week. It could be a week or two out. … I guess the only clarity here I'll add, it could be as early as Oct. 8, or it could be delayed a few weeks, but I would suggest that mandatory masks are coming soon into our province."
