Face masks will likely be in style for a while longer. The Governor Tuesday morning extended the mandate for another 60 days.  Rock County Health Department Communications Specialist Jessica Turner says the benefits of masks in limiting the spread of COVID-19 are so evident, the county health officer was prepared to issue a mask order if the Governor had not acted.  The current statewide mask mandate was set to expire next week Monday.
