Authorities in St. Louis, Missouri, have rescinded their recently-announced mask mandate while acknowledging they did not properly present the current levels of infection.

Dr. Matifadza Hlatshwayo Davis, the health director of St. Louis, told city workers recently that they would be required starting Jan. 5 to wear masks indoors and when riding with at least one other person in city vehicles, according to a letter obtained and published by KMOX-AM.
