COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Democrat Nicole Galloway says she’ll require face masks
statewide if elected Missouri governor. That’s part of a plan she released
Monday to handle the coronavirus pandemic. Galloway is trying to unseat
Republican Gov. Mike Parson. He has resisted calls to enact a statewide mask
mandate. Parson has said that local officials in state virus hotspots have
required masks on their own. Parson also has left it up to local school
districts to decide how to handle reopening. Galloway wants statewide guidelines
that would only allow full in-person learning if virus cases in the county are
low relative to the population.
