County to Issue New Emergency Order

At today's Regular County Commission Meeting (June 9, 2020), the County Commission took several important steps. Their new emergency order will follow the Governors Executive Order 20-139 with two additions:

1. Facial coverings remain mandatory. In the Commission discussion, it was mentioned that the University of Florida was also requiring facial coverings, and that consistency was important.

2. The Commission is requiring businesses to adhere to OSHA and CDC Covid-19 guidelines to keep the public and their employees safe.

In addition, the new order will allow playgrounds to be opened. All County parks and their playgrounds will be opened on Friday, June 12. The one exception is Poe Springs, which will be opened on weekends only (Saturday and Sunday) for the time being.
