Members in the Iowa House take the oath of office during the opening day of the Iowa Legislature on Monday.
The Iowa Public Health Association sent a letter to all state lawmakers Thursday asking them to require and wear masks at the Iowa Capitol to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The legislative session began Monday with hundreds of people gathering in the building, and Republican leaders did not issue a mask mandate for the Statehouse.
The letter says the IPHA is, “gravely concerned about events at the Capitol contributing to the spread of the pandemic and ask for your leadership in setting the tone that while free speech will not be suppressed, public health precautions must be taken.”
