Reno County Commissioners voted 2 to 1 at a meeting Tuesday to opt-out of Governor Kelly’s statewide mask mandate.
The new resolution will take effect on Wednesday, March 24th.
Individual businesses and organizations may still require masks if they deem it necessary.
County Commissioner Ron Hirst said “Respect one another. Respect another business.” He added that he hopes community members will be considerate.
At the courthouse, masks will still be required in district court areas as well as at the main entrance. The Annex will encourage visitors to wear masks and increased sanitation efforts will continue at all county locations.
