And remember, as of noon Friday the the citywide mask mandate is again in effect as COVID-19 cases increase across Muscogee County. A facial covering or mask is required in any public place, private business, establishment, or corporation (unless a business chooses to opt out of the mandate). The mask should be worn over the mouth and nose at all times whenever it is difficult to maintain six feet of social distance between people. Masks are not required in a personal vehicle or residence.
