Iowa school districts are reviewing their policies on mask wearing after the Iowa Department of Public Health issued new guidance late last week.
However, several major school district, including Sioux City are still requiring them.
The Department of Public Health says masks should be optional and that kids exposed to COVID-19 should not have to stay home.
That’s in conflict with the CDC which says masking and quarantine should continue until more adults and children are vaccinated.
Starting today Hy-Vee no longer requires fully vaccinated customer and employees to wear face covering in stores, unless it’s required by local ordinances. That’s according to a news release issued by the grocery. It goes on to day face coverings continue to be strongly recommended for customers who are not fully vaccinated. Walmart and Target also announced vaccinated customers and employees no longer need to wear masks.

A federal food distribution program aimed at helping Vermont farmers and people during the coronavirus pandemic is set to end by the end of the month.
The Farmers to Families Food Box Program will end as of May 31, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which launched the program last year as a temporary, emergency relief effort to help alleviate the unprecedented hunger afflicting the country as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and millions of people losing their jobs.
The program raised objections from Vermont s congressional delegation after the USDA stopped including produce and meat from local farmers and was no longer being distributed by a local company.

During the week set aside to honor the service and protection police provide and to remember fallen officers, Chief Doug Allen, Town Manager Aaron Frank, and the Selectboard, on behalf of the Town of Colchester, thank the officers and staff of the Colchester Police Department for their service to the community.
Here in Colchester, our police do much more than enforce laws. They are often the first to show up at any call for help or assistance. They are trained in first aid and carry life-saving equipment in case of an emergency. They serve our community in countless ways, at all hours of the day and night, in any weather, and often alone. They take their responsibility seriously, from respecting all members of the community, to safeguarding life and property. They partner with other groups to solve problems and help those who struggle.
