COLUMBIA - Starting Wednesday, businesses in Columbia will be able to set their own restrictions regarding masks and social distancing.Â
Health orders will expire May 12 at 11:59 a.m. KOMU 8 talked to nine businesses on what their next steps are.
Boone County Health Director Stephanie Browning and Columbia Mayor Brian Treece announced last week that the city would not extend the current health order after it expires at 11:59 a.m. on May 12. This is due to declining COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.Â
The Columbia/Boone County Health Department said it will give recommendations rather than orders.Â
âWearing masks, social distancing, and avoiding mass gatherings are still the best ways to keep our loved ones safe, Browning said at the briefing last week. We ll keep working on education and vaccination.
