A judge on Thursday ruled that St. Louis County in Missouri cannot enforce its mask mandate for now.

Circuit Judge Ellen “Nellie” Ribaudo issued a preliminary injunction ordering the county to stop taking action to enforce the mask mandate, while the court considers the full case. She said that her decision was made based on the law.
