If you’re fully vaccinated, you don’t need that mask inside or outside. So said the CDC yesterday. However, if you haven’t been jabbed, you should still wear a face mask in many situations. Many businesses will decide if they will continue their policies of requiring customers to wear masks or not. There is no word as of yet if Marshalltown Mayor Joel Greer will end the City’s mask mandate.

No double-digit positive test increases among our Central Iowa counties this morning, per the state’s website. Jasper reports 5 positives, while both Story and Marshall County reported 3 each. 235 positives reported since midday yesterday.

Urbandale Health Center has dropped off the outbreak list for long-term care facilities. That leaves only Rison Son Christian Village in Pottawattamie County on the outbreak list.
