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.
