Masks are no longer required in Salt Lake City buildings and vehicles, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced Tuesday.
Mendenhall wrote in a tweet that she ended the mandate amid a decrease in COVID-19 case counts after consulting with the Centers for Disease Control and the Salt Lake County Health Department.
On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlined a new set of measures for areas experiencing low or medium levels of COVID-19 in an area. Salt Lake County falls in the medium-risk category, meaning people at high risk for severe disease should exercise caution, but healthy individuals can take a break from wearing masks.
Numbers reported Tuesday by the Utah Department of Health show a continued decline in new cases, hospitalizations and ICU occupancy rates across the state.
Following a decrease in case counts and upon advice from the @CDCgov and @SaltLakeHealth, I have just signed the termination of an Executive Order requiring masks in City buildings and vehicles. pic.twitter.com/xpIdPFinez
