Iowa City Mayor issues mask mandate

He is standing up to CovidKim

Iowa City Mayor Bruce Teague has announced a citywide face mask mandate.

This announcement comes despite Governor Reynolds saying that city and county officials in Iowa do not have the authority to implement mandatory mask wearing unless the governor says they can.

Teague confirmed with KWWL that any business open to the public will have to make their customers wear masks.

Teague says he has talked with new interim police chief Denise Brotherton about enforcement relating to wearing face coverings. He says it will be a simple misdemeanor if people don't abide but that will be a last resort. Teague mostly wants to focus on educating people.


Got this ready for when CovidKim finds out.

Slow learner. I would guess the schools will be closed by October.
