--- Quote ---A Missouri circuit judge ruled on Thursday that St. Louis County could not enforce its mask mandate amid pending litigation, The Associated Press reported.

"This court's decision is purely one of the relevant laws," Circuit Judge Ellen "Nellie" Ribaudo said in her order, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "The court notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a political issue since it first emerged in this country and has continued to be a political flash point for many."

A mask mandate was issued by St. Louis County Executive Sam Page on July 26. The same day, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a law suit against the measure, the Post-Dispatch reported.

The County Council voted in favor of rescinding it the next day, but Page maintained that the mask mandate remained effective. Ribaudo prevented the mandate from enforcement after she issued a temporary restraining order on Aug. 3.
