Iowa governor rolls back state's COVID-19 restrictions
Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds issued a new health proclamation Friday that relaxed many of the state's existing COVID-19 regulations.
Among the policy reversals in the Public Health Disaster proclamation are the removal of the indoor mask requirements in public spaces and the social distancing requirements that previously regulated limits on social gatherings and businesses. The new policies go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, KCCI reports.
In the document, Reynolds states, "I strongly encourage that all businesses or other employers remain open with in-person operations take reasonable measures under the circumstances of each establishment to ensure the health of employees, patrons and members of the public, including social distancing practices, increased hygiene practices and other public health measures to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19."
