September 25, 2020 Update – New State Executive Order:
Things are ever-changing these days when it comes to public health. Currently the state of Florida and Volusia County do not have a statewide or countywide face covering mandate.
That leaves the decision up to individual cities and towns to make a decision on what they will require or recommend.
