6:15 p.m.: Missouri Faith Voices-Jefferson City chapter joins the call for a countywide mask mandate
The Jefferson City chapter of Missouri Faith Voices announced their endorsement of the citizen-led petition calling on Cole County Commissioners to issue a countywide mandate requiring that masks be properly worn in all places of public accommodation. The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the injustices in our country and our communities, Community Organizer with Missouri Faith Voices Reverend Kimberley Woodruff said.
Jefferson City Medical Group is now also calling for both a citywide and a countywide mandate, citing the growing body of scientific evidence suggesting that mask use can be the difference between life and death for some Americans.
