Mask mandate stays as is in Winfield

Winfield City leaders have decided, given current COVID 19 cases, the mask mandate will remain in place, as is. The decision came during a meeting last week. Winfield city manager Taggart Wall said he’s learned the positive test rate was above 40 percent for Monday through Wednesday of last week, according to ctnewsonline.com. Wall said a lot of the transmission is coming from holiday gatherings and people who are contracting COVID 19 at work and bringing it home.
