Operative words

'When it comes to masks, I have faith that the citizens of St. Charles County will do the right thing without government coercion,' Ehlmann said when learning that St. Louis City and St. Louis County are mandating the use of masks.... When other jurisdictions mandated the closure of businesses they deemed 'nonessential,' Ehlmann chose to order residents to frequent only businesses they deemed essential.

Enforcement

Notes

Establishes that St. Charles County never issued a mask mandate; employers there operated under the State's orders, the neighboring City and County mandates for their commuting workforce and customers, and the federal transit rules.
