Masks are still required at Pawn King

As of today, April 6th Governor Holcrumb’s mask mandate was changed to a mask advisory. Under the new advisory: “Face coverings remain mandatory in all state buildings and facilities, as well as all vaccination and COVID testing sites. Businesses and other entities have the authority to implement mask requirements and more stringent COVID-19 restrictions, as they see fit.” 

Local health experts, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, still recommend Hoosiers mask up in public. With a recent uptick in COVID cases in the state, and the appearance of new mutations, keeping our masks on seems like the safest way to move forward for everyone. Until further notice you’ll continue to need a mask or face covering to enter any of Pawn King’s locations.

We hope that we can lift this requirement soon, and will reassess in a few weeks in accordance to CDC recommendations. Like anything that comes into our shops, we want to see it work. The best knowledge that we have says that masks work to help prevent the spread of the virus. We feel that it is our responsibility to our community to make use of that knowledge. We want everyone to feel safe while in our stores.

There is nothing more important to us here at Pawn King than you! We thank everyone for your understanding, and appreciate your cooperation in keeping our community safe!
