The Christian County community of Ozark will end its public masking mandate on Thursday at 11:59 p.m., eight days earlier than previously determined, the city announced late Monday night.
As in Branson, its Taney County neighbor to the south, Ozark municipal government had already planned to end required masking in the near future, but voters weary of public-health measures stemming from a pandemic that began in late 2019 sped up the process.
Ozark initially adopted a mask mandate Oct. 21 during the deadly fall phase of the pandemic, as the News-Leader reported last year. Then-Mayor Rick Gardner issued the mandate using emergency powers granted to him by a vote of the Ozark Board of Aldermen in March 2020, as COVID-19 began affecting Missouri.
