(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has voted to extend the countywide mask mandate until February 22.
The Commission took the action Monday on a 2-1 vote, with new 2nd District Commissioner Wayne Grable casting the lone disenting vote.
The mask mandate has been in place since November 24 to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
Monday marked the first meeting for Grable and new 3rd District Commissioner Bobby Hall.
Hall defeated Jerry McKernan in the August primary election. Grable replaces Tad Gieger, who didn't seek re-election.
The two new commissioners, along with the other newly elected county officials, were sworn in by District Judge Jim Patton.
Grable was appointed as commission chairman for 2021.
