As COVID-19 cases rise in Provincetown, town leaders require masks indoors
PROVINCETOWN – As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Provincetown, town leaders have reinstated an indoor mask mandate.
The Select Board and Board of Health unanimously voted in favor of the mandate during an emergency joint meeting on Sunday, July 25. The meeting was held remotely, and no public comment was allowed. More than 500 people listened into the meeting.
Mandate follows public health advisory
Last Monday, July 19, the two board issued a public health advisory encouraging testing despite vaccination status and the wearing of face masks indoors.
While the issuance of the advisory did lead to some changes in the behavior of community members, it may not have led to the change in behavior town officials was hoping to see, Town Manager Alex Morse said at the beginning of the meeting on Sunday.
