Local News: Eureka Springs city council approves mask ordinance (4/20/21)

Tuesday, April 20, 2021
The Eureka Springs City Council on Monday night approved a much-debated ordinance regarding the use of face masks in the city.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson lifted the statewide mask mandate two weeks ago, saying that many entities, including businesses, government offices and schools, would make their own decisions about requiring masks to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Mayor Butch Berry said on Monday night that the number of those infected with the virus is going down locally but other regions of the country are seeing a surge in cases.

“I think that’s because people are taking this real lightly and we’re not doing what’s supposed to be done and should be done,” Berry said. “A lot of people, for whatever reason, are not getting their vaccinations and so I think this is important, at least on a temporary basis, that we continue having some sort of regulation supporting ... wearing masks in our city.”
