Dodge City commissioners have voted 3-1 to rescind the city’s mask ordinance. A news release from the city said commissioners cited the decrease in the daily average of COVID-19 cases in Ford County. “…it will be up to businesses and individuals to continue the downward trend by choosing to keep wearing a mask,” the release said. City Manager Nick Hernandez reported that according to the information reported through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s COVID-19 metrics website, the 14-day rolling average of cases in Ford county had decreased by 81% since the ordinance was put in effect. The seven-day rolling average fell by 90% during the two months the ordinance was in place.
