OKLAHOMA CITY -
The Oklahoma City mask ordinance is set to expire on April 30 as no proposed extension is on the Tuesday's City Council meeting agenda.
The ordinance is set to expire at midnight on Friday, April 30, but the city said businesses and others organizations retain the right to require masks after the mandate expires.
Like the longstanding "no shirt, no shoes: no service" rights, everyone in Oklahoma City may require mask use on their own property. This includes all businesses, public and private organizations, property owners and leaseholders.
“We’re just reminding everyone that they still need to wear a mask in places where they’re required, or choose to go somewhere else,” said City Manager Craig Freeman. “There will be places to shop and gather that require masks, and places that don’t. We’re hopefully on the exit ramp for this pandemic. It’s more important than ever to show each other respect and grace as we navigate the spring and summer.”
