City of Rochester to mandate use of masks in indoor spaces beginning this week
The Rochester City Council voted overwhelmingly Monday to approve a citywide mandate on the use of face masks in indoor public spaces.
The resolution — passed 6-1 (Council President Randy Staver was the lone nay vote) — was brought forward by Mayor Kim Norton, who said the requirement was necessary to keep the economy open and to protect the safety and well-being of residents and visitors. Prior to the vote, a Mayo Clinic infectious disease expert spoke in favor of the policy.
