RACINE â Friday night, the City of Racineâs public health administrator proposed a series of updates to the cityâs mask requirement.

Bowersox
Dottie-Kay Bowersox, the public health administrator, requested the following:
Bandanas, scarves, and gaiters are removed from the definition of âface covering.â (Face coverings that would still be approved include medical masks and cloth masks.)
School cafeterias are added to the list of establishments offering or permitting food service, thus providing an exception for the wearing of face coverings while eating or drinking there.
