As of 4:30pm Monday, the public and staff will be required to wear masks inside all City of Duluth facilities, regardless of vaccination status.

This is due to the CDC listing St. Louis County community spread as high.

“Earlier today, an email was sent to staff alerting them of this change,” Chief Administrative Officer Noah Schuchman said. “This is not a decision that we make lightly, and is a short-term step which we feel is in the best interest of our staff, their families, and the public.”

Wear a mask indoors in public
Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines
Get tested if you have symptoms
