"Reasonably" is doing a lot of work here. The same exact reasons for masking and distancing apply now just as before. Infections and hospitalizations and deaths are still commonplace. Each variant makes the vaccines less and less effective, and each shared breath you draw in public could spell the end for some idiot fox-news-watching boomer who somehow still hasn't bit it from covid.

If there was any point to masking before, then there's still one now. Over 1 million people are dead and they're still dying while we give up on masks for convenience.
