MCCALL, Idaho — Face masks will no longer be required for visitors in McCall city limits.
At a special meeting Thursday, the McCall City Council voted to lift a mask mandate that was set to expire on May 26.
During its April 22nd meeting, city leaders approved a series of four metrics to monitor as influencers on their decision to require masks in McCall.
And as of May 6th, three of the four metrics had been met.
Dr. Greg Irvine of St. Luke's McCall and Gina Pannell of Central District Health spoke on the COVID variants existing in the region, confirmed metrics, and advised the city council to continue to monitor these metrics and consider restoring the mask requirement should things go in the wrong direction.
