City relaxing mask mandate at city facilities for COVID-19 vaccinated people

Masks will no longer be required at city facilities for COVID-19 fully-vaccinated people.

 

Following Centers for Disease Control guidelines, Shelbyville Mayor Tom DeBaun asked the Shelbyville Common Council at Monday morning's meeting at CIty Hall, to rescind the mask requirements for those that have received the COVID-19 vaccination.

 

For those not vaccinated, masks will still be required.

 

"The CDC recommends if you are fully-vaccinated you can return to life as normal." said Debaun.

 

Local businesses can still require all patrons wear masks. 

 

"Citizens have to follow those mandates," said DeBaun. 

 

After meeting with a Major Health Partners represetative and participating in a meeting with other Indiana mayors, DeBaun felt confident the city should lift the mandate.

 

"Other communities other than Marion County are going this way," said DeBaun.

 

Signs will be updated at city facilities, according to DeBaun after the mandate unanimously passed.
