Seminole County Mask/Face Covering Order
Seminole County has enacted an executive order requiring every person working, living, visiting or doing business in Seminole County to wear a mask or face covering consistent with the current CDC guidelines while at all businesses, places of assembly and other places open to the public in Seminole County. The executive order is effective as of Wednesday, July 1.
The order defines a face covering as "a uniform piece of material that securely covers a person's nose and mouth and remains affixed in place without the use of one's hands, whether store bought or homemade, concurrent with CDC guidelines."
According to the order, a mask or face covering is not required at outdoor businesses, places of assembly and other places open to the public if social distancing, can be accomplished. The order also outlines exceptions for certain individuals, including those younger than age 2 and those for whom a face covering would cause impairment due to an existing health condition or disability. Other details and exceptions are outlined in the order.
