JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Attorneys arguing over a mask mandate in St. Louis County have another day to reach a compromise after they told a judge Wednesday they were deadlocked during a previous 24 hours of negotiations.
Circuit Judge Ellen Ribaudo gave lawyers for St. Louis County and the Missouri Attorney General’s Office until 11 a.m. Thursday to reach an agreement or she will make a ruling, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
St. Louis County health officials issued a county mask mandate on July 26 for indoor public places and on public transportation for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals 5 and older. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued to stop the mandate.
