Operative words
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued an Executive Order requiring all persons in a public place, including private businesses and establishments, to wear a mask or a cloth face covering over their nose and mouth when indoors. The Order is in response to the rising number of COVID-19 infections, the impact of the Delta variant and new CDC guidance. The CDC announced on July 27, 2021, that individuals should wear a mask indoors in public if in an area of substantial or high transmission. Both Fulton County and DeKalb County are currently designated as areas of substantial transmission (City release, July 28, 2021)
Enforcement
Code § 2-181(b); from Aug. 19, 2021 the State suspended enforcement against organizations (Kemp EO 08.19.21.03)
