(CNN) A person who attended a St. Louis County Council meeting last week where officials voted to overturn a mask mandate has tested positive for Covid-19 , officials said Saturday. Many attendees at the St. Louis County Council meeting last Tuesday weren't wearing masks. Meanwhile, the St. Louis County Council voted 5-2 Tuesday to overturn the mask mandate, which was announced by County Executive Dr. Sam Page the day prior. Most of those who made a public comment at the meeting were in favor of reversing the mask mandate and few wore masks. Despite the vote, Page said the mask mandate is still in effect until the lawsuit is resolved.
