Face masks required in Dover city buildings

Posted

DOVER — Face masks are required again in all Dover city buildings effective Wednesday.

Those coming to a city facility must wear a face mask “for their protection and the protection of our staff,” the Tuesday edition of the Dover Dispatch, the city’s e-newsletter, reads.

The Dover Public Library announced Tuesday that all patrons, ages 2 and over, are required to wear face masks, effective immediately.

The move comes after a brief summer without masks and about three months after the state’s mask mandate was lifted in late May. At the start of summer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance stated fully vaccinated individuals did not need face masks outdoors and in most indoor settings.

The Dover City Council resumed in-person meetings, without masks, July 13 after more than a year of conducting remote meetings.

As of Monday, masks also are required for kindergarten through 12th-grade students in public and private schools regardless of vaccination status. Child care homes and centers are strongly encouraged to require masks for children 2 years old to kindergarten.

All personnel at Dover Air Force Base, too, are required to wear a face covering, regardless of vaccination status, as of Aug. 11.
