The Omaha City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to pass an emergency mask ordinance, which will be effective immediately and last until at least Sept. 15.
The debate leading up to the vote had lasted for 4 hours on Tuesday, according to the Omaha World-Herald, but ultimately culminated in a 7-0 vote for the ordinance to help slow the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in Omaha, Nebraska. The ordinance needed six votes to be effective.
