EUREKA, Mo. Eureka Mayor Sean Flower announced the city will no longer require masks, social distancing or other COVID-19 related health restrictions at city facilities.
In a tweet, Flower said the decision for the city which is in St. Louis County and near the border of Franklin County and Jefferson County is based on the latest CDC guidance on masks and social distancing for fully vaccinated people. He also said the decision takes into account the state s prohibition of vaccine passports, meaning the rules will not require people to prove they are fully vaccinated. It is the only practical, scientific and enforceable policy that we believe we can implement, Flower said in the tweet. I am confident that upon review of the CDC guidelines and State Law, the County will provide similar guidance.
