City of Springfield extends their mask mandate

Springfield extends their civil emergency declaration as well as the face covering mandate.

The declaration was set to expire tomorrow night (November 12th) at 11:59pm but will now continue until December 12th.

Springfield Mayor Ken McClure said “after consultation with City, County, and state officials, it continues to be my judgment that there reasonably appears to exist a stat and I, therefore, am renewing the Sixth Proclamation of Civil Emergency for an additional thirty days; however, due to the adoption by City Council of an ordinance setting out regulations to address the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect public health and safety, I do not believe it necessary to exercise the additional powers granted to me under City Code at this time.”
