Columbia Heath Department says “no plans” to reinstate health order

(KMIZ) — Columbia/Boone County Public Health & Human Services says right now there are no plans to reinstate a health order despite new masking guidelines from the CDC.

In a group call on Tuesday, the CDC said vaccinated people in some parts of the country should again start wearing masks indoors in public areas.

Columbia/Boone County Public Health & Human Services issued a public health advisory on July 7, which made similar recommendations to the CDC’s.

The July 7 public health advisory also asks people to get vaccinated and if you’re sick, get tested and stay home.
