In a statement on the Arch website, the National Park Service says it is using the latest science to guide its decision.

Starting immediately, masks are required inside all buildings including: the Gateway Arch Visitor Center, the museum, the tram to the top, and the top of the Arch.

MASKS BACK AT SCHNUCKS

Schnucks announced a change in its mask policy Saturday. The chain says it's requiring masks for employees at its stores in St. Louis City and County, due to the CDC's current "high" risk designation for COVID.

Customers are not required to wear masks, however the grocery chain is strongly encouraging shoppers to do so. Schnucks says it will implement the same protocol in any counties the CDC labels high risk.
