Idaho’s governor repealed a mask mandate ban on May 28 that was implemented while he was away on a trip.

The state’s lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin, a Republican who is running for governor, issued an executive order the day prior barring local governments from requiring that masks be worn. She did so with the authority she had as acting governor because Idaho Gov. Brad Little, a Republican, was out of state.
