Orange County Mayor Asking Guests To Mask Up While Indoors As Covid-19 Cases Increase
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings spoke to the press regarding an official recommendation he is making and it may surprise you! Orange Country residents and visitors are being asked to mask-up while indoors where social distancing is not an option.
According to a recent piece on Fox35, the mayor is asking that this be done EVEN IF you’re already vaccinated.
The recent shift in government recommendations is to the fact that infection numbers in Florida are on the rise again. Health officials are reporting that the 2 week rolling positivity rate is currently sitting at about 8%. Under CDC guidelines, this is considered “high risk” when it comes to transmission rates.
So will this mean another mask mandate and will it have an impact on theme parks including Walt Disney World? At the moment no. According to the report with FOX 35, Demings said that he does not want to reinstate a mask mandate but will continue to review numbers and will adjust his recommendation as needed.
According to figures from the Mayor’s Office, yesterday 406 new COVID-19 cases were reported to the county with 100% of those testing positive unvaccinated. Medical officials are advising that the best way to prevent the numbers from continuing to increase are to get vaccinated.
