Grant County Board Rejects Mask Requirement in County Buildings

A divided Grant County Board of Supervisors has rejected a proposal to institute a face mask requirement in all county buildings. The 12-5 decision comes as Grant County, and the nation, experiences a resurgence of coronavirus infections, as well as spread among children. A report says several county board members argued that the coronavirus has spread and it is now too late to attempt to enforce wearing masks to prevent further transmission.
