Is the time right to lay aside the face coverings?

The CDC says one-half of all adult Americans have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose and nearly one-third are fully vaccinated.  In Oconee County the issue is whether it’s now time to repeal the ordinance requiring the wearing of face coverings in county government offices and facilities.  The county council is scheduled to take up repeal of the ordinance tomorrow night during its 6 o’clock meeting at the county administrative complex in Walhalla.
