HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Even before the county rescinded its own ordinance regarding mask wearing, the Chamber of Commerce put out a survey to its members asking how they felt about the matter.

Those results were released and the survey shows that a majority of those who took the survey support that mask wearing be mandated in public places. Sixty-five percent approved of the mandate and 35% disapproved — 430 Chamber members took the survey.

The Chamber wanted to stress that it remains neutral in the matter, although its staff members are required to wear masks.
