CONWAY — Selectmen on Tuesday declined to implement a mask mandate, saying it would be unenforceable.

Selectman John Colbath had asked the board to discuss establishing a townwide mask mandate. “I had constituents request that with the pandemic being the way it is and surging numbers, and lots of concerns — as we know, last Friday we closed town hall because of a surge of COVID here — that similar to Keene, Portsmouth and Manchester that we do a townwide mandate for mask-wearing in public places,” Colbath said.
