Gov. Kim Reynolds’ move to scrap measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will have no impact on the mask mandate in Webster County, according to County Attorney Darren Driscoll.
“Our’s is independent of the governor’s,” Driscoll said Friday evening.
He said it will remain in place until it’s repealed by the Board of Supervisors.
The county mandate requires masks or face coverings to be worn at all times in most indoor public locations. It also requires masks or face coverings to be worn outdoors when six feet of distance cannot be maintained between people.
