Judge Denies Emergency Injunction Motion to Stop Mandatory Masks

Today, concerning Alachua County's authority to make masks mandatory, Judge Donna M. Keim of the 8th Circuit Court hearing denied the request for an emergency injunction motion, on all counts. This serves as a good reminder that the County's Emergency Order requiring mandatory masking is within the County's authority, and cities are required to follow the Order. Cities may issue orders that are stricter than the County orders, but not more lenient.
