Operative words

(as described by the Department, MET-SLC-082) 'August 11, 2021: Public Health Order 2021-2 requires students attending kindergarten through grade 6 at a public, charter, or private school in Salt Lake County to wear a face covering that completely covers the nose and mouth when in any indoor area of the premises, on school-provided transportation, or attending an indoor school-sponsored activity, with some exceptions.'

Enforcement

Order of constraint; terminated by county legislative body

Notes

The County Council voted 6-3 on Thursday Aug. 12, 2021 to terminate the order over the objection of Mayor Wilson and Dr. Dunn (KUER, MET-SLC-079; UPR, MET-SLC-080); the Legislature's SB 195 regime made the vote decisive
