Cloquet city officials will no longer require masks to be worn while inside public spaces as of Friday, May 14, due to a recent order from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Under an emergency city ordinance, Cloquet has been requiring masks to be worn while indoors in public spaces since last summer, passing the mandate in a 5-2 vote, just one day before Gov. Tim Walz announced a statewide mask mandate July 22.
While the city ordinance requiring masks to be worn by the public has not been officially repealed, City Administrator Tim Peterson explained that is deemed null and void under the recent orders from the governor surrounding mask mandates.
