The Salem Board of Health will meet on Tuesday, Dec. 14 to discuss expanding the indoor mask mandate for all buildings in the city, along with a potential vaccine mandate for those looking to enter businesses. The board will also discuss whether or not to endorse the city's recommendation of a vaccine mandate for all city and school employees.
