GH I think you are mixing up two communities Kiryas Joel which is currently called Town of Palm Tree in Orange County with Monsey which is in Rockland County.
CS I don’t know what is going on in other communities nor in all of Midwood but in the few that I attend masks and social distancing are required. Although enforcement is not what it used to be, more people are davening without masks and not told to leave. I have seen people recently asked to wear a mask or leave shul.
