The indoor mask requirement will no longer be in effect in Montgomery at 12:01am Thursday morning, but the city of Takoma Park announced earlier this evening that it would continue with its mask mandate.
Takoma Park city manager Jamal T. Fox communicated the continuation of the policy via Twitter, writing that “Vaccines in children ages 5-11 will need time to take effect, plus CDC Guidelines & holidays are all reasons to take a healthy approach to stay the current course!”
The tweet can be seen below.
