WALTON COUNTY MASK ORDINANCE REJECTED

Walton County commissioners have rejected a countywide mask ordinance, but said they may consider a non-binding resolution recommending the wearing of face masks at their meeting on August 11^th. However, the county administration has already implemented masking and temperature-check requirements for many county offices. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that masks be worn by everyone except infants in public settings where social distancing is difficult to maintain.
