Change In Government Brings Changes In Montana s Mask Mandates
On his second day in office, Gov. Greg Gianforte pledged to lift Montana’s statewide mask mandate enacted by his predecessor to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Now local areas are preparing face-covering ordinances of their own.
At a press conference Tuesday, Gianforte said addressing COVID-19 was his top priority as governor, and that he would be issuing new guidance to help the state recover. I fully intend to rescind the existing statewide mask mandate, he said.
Gianforte said the repeal would come only after the vaccine is available to people over 70 years old and to Montanans with underlying health conditions. He also said there will first need to be legislation in place protecting businesses, churches, nonprofits and schools issuing safety measures of their own.
