(KAIR)--The Jefferson County Commission, during their regular Monday meeting, voted 2-1 to rescind the county's mask mandate and instead highly recommend the public continue to wear masks.
The decision, which takes effect Tuesday, over-rides Gov. Laura Kelly’s executive order regarding masks in public places.
Members of the public entering county office’s will still be required to wear masks. Employees in the offices when able to social distance, do not have to wear a mask unless they are waiting on a customer.
Schools, cities, and other businesses can have their own orders regarding the wearing of masks.
Jefferson County has seen a decrease in coronavirus cases in recent weeks.
