Covington Diocese lifts mask mandate in church for fully vaccinated
View Comments
Northern Kentucky Roman Catholic parishioners who are fully vaccinated no longer have to wear a mask while attending Mass, the Diocese of Covington announced Friday.
The diocesan message comes a day after Gov. Andy Beshear amended mask-wearing mandates in Kentucky, beginning June 11. In a news conference Friday, Beshear said, “After a long, dark pandemic, more of our people have gotten their shot of hope, and we have steadily moved to lift the last remaining restrictions put in place to slow the spread of this dangerous virus and save lives.
