BERLIN — The city is asking residents to continue wearing masks voluntarily to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The city council Monday night chose not to renew the city’s mask mandate, which expired last Friday with the statewide mandate. Berlin will still require masks to be wore inside municipal buildings.

Mayor Paul Grenier said only one city in the state, Portsmouth, now has a mask ordinance. Grenier said the mayors of Claremont, Concord, Dover, Franklin, Keene, Laconia, Lebanon, Manchester, Nashua, Rochester and Somersworth as well as Berlin have followed the state’s example and let the mandates expire.
