Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves is ending the state’s mask mandate during the coronavirus pandemic. Here are stories that you need to know.


Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has signed an executive order ending the state’s mask mandate at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

The mandate, put in place at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in the state, has now been replaced with recommendations from Reeves on when to wear masks.

Masks are still required in certain instances, including at schools and in classrooms, according to the executive order. Masks are also still required at Coast casinos — for now.
