The governor issued a proclamation yesterday that included a couple of sections I want to address as they relate to library business. One section issues a limit on indoor gatherings to 15 people. These restrictions, however, “do not apply to gatherings that occur during the ordinary course of business or government.” Another section issues a requirement that masks be worn “when individuals are within 6 feet of one another for 15 minutes or longer.” Neither of these measures will change how we do things here at the library. I’ve included a link to the Iowa Department of Public Health’s summary of the governor’s proclamation below. Let me know if you have any questions.
