INFORMATION ABOUT SALT LAKE COUNTY’S MANDATE:
Information obtained from Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson’s Facebook Page:
Wearing a face covering correctly is one of the easiest things we can do to help our local businesses, and or community as whole, successfully weather this challenging time.
Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, June 27th, in Salt Lake County, face coverings will be required:
🔸At public gatherings, indoor or out, where consistent social distancing is not possible.
🔸While waiting outside or inside retail and other public locations, including bars and restaurants until seated.
Face coverings will not required:
🔸Outdoors when social distancing is easily maintained.
🔸On a person with a health condition exacerbated by a face covering.
🔸On children under 2 years old.
🔸When wearing a face covering would prevent the performance of the essential functions of person’s job or work.
🔸In circumstances not reasonably conducive to wearing a face covering, such as while swimming or engaging in strenuous physical activity.
The goal of the requirement is not enforcement or to penalize anyone; the goal is to send a strong, clear message about the gravity of our current COVID circumstances and the importance of face coverings in effectively addressing this concerning data.
