PHIPPSBURG — Gov. Janet Mills addressed Phippsburg Selectmen’s decision to “strongly encourage” rather than require face masks in municipal buildings to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
In her Friday briefing alongside Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Nirav Shah, Mills said she wasn’t aware Phippsburg selectmen have been bucking her mask mandate. However, Mills said she’s “happy to reach out to those people and talk to them about what the rules are, why they’re there and how they should enforce them.”
