Bloomfield’s universal mask mandate will end at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
The mandate was issued in January due to increases in infection rates of the COVID-19 omicron variant.
Town officials issued a statement on Monday afternoon, saying a universal mask mandate is no longer necessary.
Town manager Stanley Hawthorne has issued an order to repeal Bloomfield’s Emergency Order No. 2022-1 as of 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 15, according to a news release from the town of Bloomfield.
