Adults will be required to wear face coverings starting Monday. It must cover their mouth and nose.
The masks will be required in all indoor areas with non-household members present, if it can’t be assured people will stay six feet or more away from each other.
They must also wear them outdoors where there is exposure to non-household members unless there’s enough space to stay six feet or more away from others.
A violation of the order is a misdemeanor offense. It can be punished by a fine between $100 and $500. People cannot be arrested or detained for violating it.
However, local law enforcement may enforce trespassing laws by removing violators at the request of business or property owners.
There are exceptions, including those for public speaking, for voting, and for religious worship. Children under the age of ten and people with medical conditions that inhibit mask-wearing are also exempt.
