Adair County Health Department votes to end mask mandate on May 1
Kirksville Daily Express
The Adair County Health Department will end its mask mandate on May 1, following a unanimous vote during a special board of trustees meeting on Monday.
The board tabled a decision from its last regular meeting in late March, wanting to see what COVID-19 case totals looked like as students returned from spring break. With cases still remaining low in Adair County, with four active cases on Monday, the board agreed to end the mandate a few weeks later.
The board can revisit and bring the mandate back in the future if cases pick up again. Private businesses can still opt to require masks when entering.
Results are in: New faces joining city council, school board, health dept board
