Knox Mayor Dennis Estok is urging residents to continue wearing masks when out in public. He notes that businesses still have the option to require employees to wear masks, even though Governor Holcomb eased the statewide mask mandate to an advisory.
“I don’t know why the governor did that, especially right now,” Estok told the city council Tuesday. “Michigan is going just crazy up there.”
Estok said that COVID-19 will continue to be an issue here, as well, until enough people get vaccinated. “That’s the problem, too,” he added. “I mean, I’ve got relation that has no plans of getting vaccinated, and they’re young. And, you know, why? Why? Because it’s going to get you.”
Estok said masks continue to be required in all Knox city buildings.
