    Mandatory Mask Order - OH Dept. of Health

    Mandatory Masks

       

    On Tuesday, July 7, 2020, Governor Mike DeWine announced an Ohio Department of Health order, effective July 8, 2020 at 6:00 p.m., that will mandate the wearing of face coverings in public in all counties designated as Red Level 3.  This order includes all of Montgomery County.  The order to wear facial coverings does not apply to those under the age of 10, nor does it apply to those who meet existing exclusions for facial coverings due to medical or safety issues. Once a county is no longer listed as Level 3, the requirement will cease to exist.
