City of Cape Girardeau Masking Required in City Facilities
With active COVID cases over 320 in Cape Girardeau County, our City-owned facilities like City Hall will begin requiring masks and encouraging more distant and virtual options for service delivery where practical. Please honor the rules put in place when on private property like businesses, households, and other public agencies. Like you, we’re all doing the best we can with the information we have, to keep each other safe and healthy.
If you have medical questions about COVID, the vaccine, or anything else, remember to take your inquiry to trusted sources like your primary care provider.
