OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma City Council voted 6-3 Tuesday to extend the city’s mask ordinance through April 30. The mandate was set to expire Friday.
Proponents said the safety measure still is needed to protect residents and support businesses.
The Oklahoma City COVID-19 Safety Code was put in place in July and has been extended multiple times. It requires people aged 11 and older to wear a face covering in indoor public places with some exceptions.
