Rexburg City Council votes not to mandate masks

REXBURG, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - The Rexburg City Council voted 4-2 against a mask ordinance.

The Council did approve, "United We Stand against COVID initiative", a resolution that will provide education to the community about the virus. More details will be provided later by the city on the resolution.

Plenty of protestors were outside City Hall saying the face covering ordinance is against their rights.

"As a Patriot, this is really taking away my rights and my liberties from being able to act freely in society," Protestor, Giulliano Prieto said.

"None of these people will be mad or argue with somebody for wearing a mask, I don't have a problem with it. I don't have a problem with you wearing a mask, but we have a problem with is being told to do something that just doesn't register with statistics and data."
