St. Louis County's mask mandate temporarily blocked by judge
Fox News
A local judge granted a temporary restraining order Tuesday that will halt St. Louis County's mask mandate from taking effect for at least the next two weeks.
Circuit Judge Ellen "Nellie" Ribaudo ruled Tuesday that "there is a likelihood of success on the merits" that the St. Louis County Counsel does have the authority to terminate the mask mandate. "If this court were not to act in this moment the residents who support the face covering measure and those who oppose the measure are left to their own devices in deciding whether or not to wear a mask while in public places," Ribaudo wrote Tuesday.More Related News
