COVID-19 cases have begun to drop across the country, and as a result, some governors are ditching their statewide mask mandates. However, this has reportedly raised some tensions with city leaders who may keep their own restrictions in effect in order to combat new strains of the virus.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds (R) ended the state’s mask mandate and restrictions on social gatherings. This came after case numbers and hospitalizations had “fallen by around 80% since the autumn peak and vaccination programs in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities got under way,” according to The Wall Street Journal.
