Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett signed an executive emergency order Monday to require the wearing of face masks by all employees of businesses open to the public in Montgomery County.
A news release says the mandate for businesses in Montgomery County to wear masks will go into effect at 12:01 a.m., Wednesday and end July 15 with an expectation to extend the order at least another seven days through July 22, at which time evaluation to further extend the orders will be determined.
It requires business employees to wear masks unless social distancing can be conducted consistently. Officials say the order will be enforced on an as-needed basis.
