The city of Manhattan will again require staff and visitors to wear masks in indoor facilities starting Monday.
City Manager Ron Fehr announced the mandate in a Friday afternoon press release, noting that the requirement is only for the city-operated facilities and does not mean that there’s a city-wide mask ordinance.
Fehr says the decision is based on recent CDC and Riley County Health Department recommendations as the county is among those dealing with high transmission rates of coronavirus.
As of Thursday, there were 150 active cases of coronavirus in Riley County, per the health department.
