The City of Wyomig officially has rescinded its emergency order for the COVID pandemic.
Reporting to the Wyoming City Council at its Tuesday regular meeting, Deputy City Manager John McCarter said Mayor Jack Poll signed the order to rescind the emergency order last week with staff executing that order.
What that means for the city, according to McCarter, is that all city public meetings will be held in-person rather than teleconference as they have been during the pandemic. Also, face coverings are not required and capacity limits have been lifted for city offices and facilities.
Expanded facilities for outdoor cooking, outdoor seating and temporary structures for businesses also have been rescinded with staff working with the businesses that will be impacted, he said.
McCarter noted that this does not change federal requirements such as the mask requirements for mass transit and state requirements, which does require masks at doctor’s offices and hospitals.
