An official in Dallas County, Alabama, said the county re-implemented a mask mandate in county buildings that are open to the public, an indicator that mask mandates may return en masse across the United States.
Probate Judge Jimmy Nunn stated this week that the policy was instated due to a reported increase in COVID-19 cases nationally and locally. There have also been isolated COVID-19 cases in county buildings, he claimed, according to a local media outlet WAKA-TV.
