More than a year ago, Provo City experienced a jarring community shift as COVID-19 necessitated adaptations for the protection of the public.
We’re grateful for the expert guidance we received from the Utah County Health Department and the Utah Department of Health during this time and appreciative to our community who did their part to keep us all safe.
With a low case count and high vaccination numbers, Provo City will again be following the State’s lead as they lift the statewide mask mandate on April 10.
While mask signage will be removed from city facilities, we encourage employees and visitors to continue wearing masks if that is their preference. Health experts still advise social distancing and good hygiene practices.
Local businesses may still elect to require masks, as is their right, and we hope all will be respectful of others.
Sincerely,
Mayor Michelle Kaufusi
So grateful that our masters have decided to let us breath free air. If you treat our community like a hospital you still need to get patient consent. I never consented to a mask mandate.
