DougCo Commissioners Approve Resolution Defying Masks Indoors
Douglas County commissioners said residents should be allowed to choose how they protect themselves from COVID-19.
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)– Douglas County commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday afternoon that would defy the state indoor face mask mandate. They claim the resolution allows residents to choose how to protect themselves from COVID-19.
The resolution also states that wearing a face mask indoors in Douglas County is not mandatory regardless of vaccination status. It also states that businesses cannot be fined. The state mandate requires face masks or coverings indoors unless 80% of people are vaccinated. Gov. Jared Polis amended and extended the face-covering executive order on May 3.
