Face Coverings Not Required In Shakopee City Facilities

Press release from the City of Shakopee:

May 14, 2021

In accordance with Gov. Tim Walz’s announcement yesterday lifting the statewide mask mandate, the City of Shakopee no longer requires face coverings in city facilities. This includes City Hall, Shakopee Community Center and Shakopee Ice Arena.

The City of Shakopee does not have a citywide mask mandate but will continue following executive orders from the governor and guidelines set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The CDC recommends people who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 continue to wear face coverings while indoors. Full vaccination occurs two weeks after receiving your last dose of the COVID vaccine.

Effective today, May 14, the governor’s executive council approved ending the indoor mask mandate, which had been in place since July 2020. Private businesses may still require people to wear masks inside their buildings. Please respect these establishments by following the posted guidance.
