All city of Toledo employees will once again be required to wear a face mask regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.
According to a memo sent to city workers and obtained by WTOL, the rule goes into effect Tuesday. The move was prompted by Lucas County moving into "substantial" virus transmission status last week.
Several state colleges, including the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University, are also requiring masks indoors due to the rise in cases and spread of the delta variant.
The CDC amended its guidance last week, saying vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals should wear a mask indoors in areas where spread is considered substantial or high.
