(Montague, MA) – The recent spike in COVID 19 cases has forced Montague officials to once again impose a town-wide mask mandate. The Montague Selectboard voted Monday to reimpose a mandate put in place in September requiring masks to be worn in all public spaces in town, including businesses. A week earlier, the board voted to require masks only in town-owned buildings. The new mandate goes into effect Wednesday and will remain in place at least until March 1st.
