Cowley County’s public health officer is loosening restrictions on mass gatherings and mask requirements at school events, while at the same time pleading with residents to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Thomas Langer on Friday announced updated health orders that take affect Monday. Mass outdoor gatherings no longer have any size limits, which will allow for more traditional school graduations and upcoming community events such as the county fair or Tacolalah. Social gatherings indoors of 300 people or more where space is available can now allow 60 % occupancy instead of just 25 %. On-site operations of businesses or other entities are no longer restricted by size.
