Updated June 7, 2021
For face covering exception and exemption details, see State Executive Order 21-05-14-01 paragraph III.b. (PDF)
Businesses and workplaces can set their own face covering policies, just as they can set a dress code for customers and staff.
Face coverings must be worn inside
- Public transportation
- Schools
- Health care settings
- Youth camps
- Childcare facilities
- some County offices and facilities (clinics, correctional facilities, homeless shelters)
Face coverings are recommended
- Indoors and outdoors, particularly when physical distancing cannot be maintained, for people 2 years and older who are not fully vaccinated
- Outdoors at childcare, school, and camp programs, and during outdoor offsite activities (e.g. field trips) when physical distancing cannot be maintained for staff, essential visitors, and children 2 years and older
Must the face covering cover my nose?
A face covering is fitted properly when it covers your nose and mouth.
