HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (LifeSiteNews) — The city council of a southern California city on Tuesday narrowly voted to seek a ban on COVID and mask mandates citywide as worries increase about the potential for renewed COVID controls.
Huntington Beach, a midsized city southeast of Los Angeles in historically conservative Orange County, approved the resolution in a 4-3 vote in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday following a lengthy meeting, KTLA reported.
“Individuals, whether at City Hall or in the private sector, should have a right to choose whether to wear a mask or get vaccinated or boosted,” the motion reads, according to Fox News.
Yahoo Finance reported that the motion “requests the city manager to return to the council with a resolution at the next regular meeting declaring the city to be a ‘no mask and no vaccine mandate city’ as a response to Covid or any variants.”
