As of Friday morning, city officials say they will no longer enforce the citywide mask ordinance.
“Beginning today, the City will no longer enforce the mask ordinance,” Chief Administrative Officer Noah Schuchman said. “It is also important to remember that the CDC’s guidance on easing mask-wearing is for fully vaccinated people and that some business sectors and nonprofits are still required to wear masks within their spaces and may require the public to do the same.”
“The mask ordinance was a plan that was executed to keep our community safe,” City Councilor Terese Tomanek said. “We know that these last fifteen months have been difficult. We are so grateful for the community’s support of this effort. It helped to slow the spread of COVID-19 and saved lives. We are excited to celebrate this big step in starting to get back to normal and more familiar times.”

The City of Duluth announced Friday that they will no longer enforce their mask ordinance. Instead, businesses and organizations can choose to create their own policies about mask wearing.
“Beginning today, the City will no longer enforce the mask ordinance,” Chief Administrative Officer Noah Schuchman said. “It is also important to remember that the CDC’s guidance on easing mask-wearing is for fully vaccinated people, and that some business sectors and nonprofits are still required to wear masks within their spaces and may require the public to do the same.”
This announcement came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that masks were no longer required for fully vaccinated individuals in most places.
