Human Factors; Environment - Non Weather Related; Company Policy
During cruise flight; approximately one hour and 30 minutes from landing; a call was received from the cabin regarding a passenger; who was not complying with the face covering policy and disturbing nearby passengers. I asked the A Flight Attendant if any assistance or a diversion will be required; the reply was that more information was needed. A short time later; I received a call from the cabin informing me that the situation had been diffused and that passenger was now compliant.While on approach to landing in ZZZ; I received a call from the cabin stating that passenger was out of his seat creating a disturbance. The A Flight Attendant requested personnel meet the aircraft at the gate. Personnel met the aircraft and escorted passenger to the terminal without further incident.Due to the first flight attendants calm demeanor; I allowed myself to believe the incident was not an issue. From this point further; I will involve my Dispatcher as well as other available resources.Monitoring of passengers behavior during the boarding process can sometimes identify potential problems. Whenever possible; it is better to deal with these potential problems on the ground before the flight.
