Stamford
Mayor David Martin announced Tuesday that the mask mandate implemented in
August in the city has been lifted effective immediately.
He
said that the change was made due to declining COVID-19 cases.
MORE: Stop the Spread
“I am
very pleased to announce that Stamford’s mask mandate will be lifted effective
immediately,” said Martin, in prepared remarks. “As evident by the City’s
diminishing number Covid cases, the use of masks over the past few months has
served to significantly decrease the spread of this virus in Stamford. In lieu
of mandatory masks, residents should practice reasonable safety precautions and
social distance when possible.”
A
release sent by Martin’s office noted that “Stamford businesses are
entitled to set their mask regulations and requirements at their own
discretion. The mask mandate may be reinstated if COVID-19 cases begin to rise
again as the holiday season begins.”
Masks
will still be required in the Stamford Government Center.
