County Mask Mandate Extended

The Dubuque County mask mandate originally scheduled to expire on March 1 has been extended.  The Dubuque County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Friday to approve the resolution recommended by the County Board of Health.  This action follows two public hearings and extends the mandate "until the Dubuque County Incident Management Team declares that Phase 1B is completed in Dubuque County, or by June 15 2021, whichever occurs sooner.” The resolution language on when and where to wear a mask has not changed.
