Fort Pierre City Council passes resolution, not mandate, asking people to wear masks and follow other CDC guidelines to slow the spread of COVID-19

The Fort Pierre City Council passed a resolution on a 5-1 vote asking all residents and patrons in town to wear a mask and follow other CDC recommendations to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

During a special meeting this evening (Nov. 23, 2020), mayor Gloria Hanson said this is not a mandate.

Alderman Todd Bernhard, the one vote against the resolution, said it should be up to personal responsibility.

Although not a mandate, Hanson hopes residents and patrons of Fort Pierre get the message.

The latest update from the state Department of Health shows there have been 216 positive cases of COVID-19 in Fort Pierre and Stanley County residents; 138 of those are considered recovered. In Pierre and Hughes County, there have been 1548 positive cases—1127 of which are considered recovered– and 17 deaths.
