(Iowa City, IA) — Officials in Iowa City are extending the city’s mask mandate indefinitely.
Mayor Bruce Teague extended the August 19th order until it is rescinded at a later day. It requires everyone over age two to wear a face covering inside public places. There are some medical exemptions. Teague has said the city will not seek criminal charges against violators, but highlight the importance of wearing a mask to slow the spread of COVID-19.
The Iowa City School District approved a mask mandate after a federal judge blocked a state law banning mask orders in schools.
