IRON RANGE â Cities across the Iron Range are individually responding to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walzâs announcement last week that relaxed COVID-19 mask mandate guidelines. Overall, cities are working to open up and follow the new recommendations of state and federal health organizations.
The Virginia City Council addressed the matter during Tuesday morningâs Committee of the Whole meeting.
âThereâs been a lot of confusion. I received a lot of calls over the weekend,â said Mayor Larry Cuffe Jr. Since the beginning of the pandemic, âweâve always followed the governorâs guidelines.â
That will continue to be the case for the city, he said.
