Masks mandatory in Orange County starting Saturday
https://www.wesh.com/article/masks-mandatory-in-orange-county-starting-saturday/32909702#ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County mayor Jerry Demings has signed an executive order that makes it mandatory for people in the county to wear facial coverings starting Saturday.
The mandatory order to wear face masks will be in place until further notice.
Anyone who is working, living, visiting or doing business in Orange County will need to wear facial coverings consistent to CDC guidelines in public spaces.
"The executive order is in the best interest in businesses, especially bars and restaurants. I'll tell you, we do not want to experience another shutdown in our community," Demings said.
Demings also called the executive order a measured approach. He said if the trend of coronavirus cases continues to increase, as well as an increase of hospitalizations, the county will take further measures.
