(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa’s Republican governor is speaking out against the updated C-D-C guidance calling for indoor mask wearing in coronavirus hot spots. Governor Kim Reynolds said in a statement, “The Biden Administration’s new COVID guidance telling fully vaccinated Iowans to now wear masks is not only counterproductive to our vaccination efforts, but also not grounded in reality or common sense.” Reynolds says she’s concerned this guidance will be used a vehicle to mandate masks in states and schools across the country. The governor encourages everyone to get the COVID vaccine.
