I, Melvin Carter III, Mayor of the City of Saint Paul, on January 12, 2022, pursuant to Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 13.06, do hereby issue the following Executive Order: COVID-19 infection is transmitted predominately by inhalation of respiratory droplets and studies show that face coverings block the release of respiratory droplets into the environment and can also reduce the wearers exposure to droplets from others because COVID-19 viral particles spread between people more readily indoors and when people are closer together for longer periods of time indoors. On July 27, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated their information for fully vaccinated people given new evidence on the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant currently circulating in the United States. The curfew was critical in preventing further risk to public safety and destruction to property.

Inside activities, and in particular inside activities where individuals gather without masks, and where individuals gather for extended periods, or both, increase the likelihood of the spread of COVID-19.
