Face Covering Directive

Masks, face shields and face coverings are currently required statewide for indoor public spaces (for example, grocery stores, pharmacies, public transit, personal services providers, restaurants, bars, retail stores, and more). In addition, face coverings are required in outdoor public spaces when physical distancing is not possible. Children age 5 and up are required to wear a face covering. People with a disability or medical condition may request accommodation from the business if they cannot wear one.

6-19-20  Governor's Face Covering Guidance for Lincoln County

Lincoln County General directive: All individuals in Lincoln County are required to wear face coverings during any indoor public setting or outdoor public location where a person will be in within six feet of another individual, who does not share the same household.

Exceptions:

• Persons with health/medical conditions that preclude or are exacerbated by wearing a face covering.
• Children under the age of 12. Children over the age of 2 but under the age of 12 are encouraged to wear face coverings but not required to do so.
• Persons with disabilities that prevents them from using the face covering as described in this Directive.  These persons must be reasonably accommodated to allow them access to goods and services.

Face shields are an alternative for those who are concerned with wearing other types of face coverings.

Does not replace or eliminate existing regulations.

Self executing: all individuals expected to adhere to directive terms.

No additional enforcement authority: no person shall intimidate or harass individuals who do not comply.

Face coverings requirements herein do not replace the primary need for people to continue to practice social distancing (physically separated by a minimum of 6 feet), staying at home when ill, frequently washing hands with soap or sanitizer, and avoiding touching one’s face.
