The Shawnee News-Star
This week Shawnee City Commissioners voted to follow suit with some other communities, choosing to end their mask mandate at the end of the month.
The board s face-covering requirement was originally put in place in July and then was extended a couple times with the last end-date set for June 30.
With COVID-19 vaccines continuing to roll out, and being offered to most everyone at this point, as well as no spike in cases after Spring Break, some of Oklahoma s larger communities are expected to allow their the mask-wearing edicts to expire April 30.
More than half the Commission voiced that when the ordinance was first established, it was the only option for protection at the time.
