Last night the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) met to discuss the indoor mask mandate. They ultimately voted to officially end the mandate, while also encouraging individuals in high-risk groups to continue to wear face coverings in public indoor settings.
The mandate will officially end on February 26th.
“Current trends point to a shift in COVID-19 conditions and indicate the need for a revised response plan that encompasses prevention, surveillance, and equitable distribution of resources,” said Mecklenburg County Public Health (MCPH) Director Dr. Raynard Washington.
