Last night, Summit County Board of Health passed a resolution effective immediately requiring the use of facial coverings/masks in public. Public includes all indoor facilities and outside when 6 feet of social distancing is unable to be maintained. Exceptions to the Board of Health resolution include: 1. When the individual cannot wear a mask because of a medical condition... 2. If the individual is under 10 years of age. 3. While eating or drinking, provided that the individual is also seated.... Summit County will enforce these orders through complaint-based monitoring. Business are required to enforce the resolution for their employees and customers and if they fail to enforce [after notice, may be referred for action]... Under the City of Akron Masking Order, businesses that fail to enforce the requirements of the order within their establishment, after a warning and an opportunity to correct the violation, could face a potential civil penalty of $250.
