Well pretty soon a mask will be kind of helpful for not only stopping the spread of COVID, but also for keeping your face warm. So that’s a positive of the mask mandate being extended until November 14.

The news came from today’s press conference with Governor Holcomb. In addition to the mask mandate extension, our stage five status has also been extended according to RTV6.

With the colder weather coming, hospitals are preparing for an increase in visits for the flu and the coronavirus. To help, they are encouraging everyone to get their flu shot.
