February 8, 2021

The current Cedar Falls mask mandate resolution is still active until March 3, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. as per the City Council vote which took place on January 19, 2021. It requires anyone within city limits to wear a face-covering (whether disposable, cloth, or face shield) in public settings when unable to remain six or more feet apart from others, including during the use of public transportation or private car services.

The Cedar Falls mask requirement does not apply to children under the age of five. Additional exemptions are granted for anyone who has trouble breathing or is on oxygen therapy or ventilator. It also does not apply to anyone who has been told by a medical, legal, or behavioral health professional not to wear face coverings. Additionally, a mask is not required when traveling in a personal vehicle alone or with household members, exercising at moderate or high intensity, while eating or drinking while seated at a food establishment, while obtaining a service that would temporarily require removal of the covering, or when federal or state law requires removal of the covering.
