Mask order ends today, but not all places
Courts, museums, others still require use of coverings
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
Indiana emerges today from the statewide COVID-19 mask mandate. But plenty of places in the Fort Wayne area – such as courts and museums – are still requiring the wearing of facial covering.
Gov. Eric Holcomb last week lifted the state s mask requirement in most settings, and Allen County Health Commissioner Dr. Matthew Sutter declined to extend a general mask requirement countywide.
Sutter stressed facial coverings would still be required in city and county government buildings, and Megan Hubartt, department spokeswoman, said Monday that local health officials believe others should follow suit.
Allen County courts to keep mask requirement
The Journal Gazette
The wearing of a mask or facial covering will continue to be required at any Allen Circuit and Superior Court facilities after Indiana’s statewide mask mandate expires tomorrow.
Anyone over 2-years-old entering the Allen County Courthouse, Meeks Justice Center, Courthouse Annex and Criminal Division Services must wear a mask or facial covering, a statement from Allen Superior Court said today.
The requirement includes litigants, attorneys, staff and anyone called for jury duty. Court staff is also required to wear masks or facial coverings when they are out of their personal workspace.
