(KNZA)--Masks become mandatory in Jackson County, with a release saying COVID-19 “cases are drastically increasing” along with community spread.
The release, from the Jackson County Health Department, said the department Friday presented a Health Order to the Jackson County Commission “to assist with slowing the spread of COVID in Jackson County.”
The order was approved by the Commission and goes into effect immediately.
It is put in place as Jackson County currently has about 100 active cases, with two currently hospitalized.
The release notes there are three main points to the order:
1. Governor Kelly's Mask Order immediately goes into effect.
2. Mass gatherings are now limited to 25 or less.
3. Restaurants and bars must now seat parties six feet apart.
The order will be revisited by Commissioners on November 23rd.
