MUNCIE, Ind. Muncie City Hall is no longer enforcing a mask mandate despite Delaware County keeping it in place for county-level government offices, according to a memo from the Mayors office obtained by The Star Press.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced that the state would be easing the mask mandate into an advisory as of Tuesday, April 6, leaving it to local officials to make overall public health mandates if they chose.
