The order, which mimics the orders in Harris and Fort Bend counties, goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. June 28 until 11:59 p.m. July 12, unless extended.
The order requires that all employees and customers over the age of 10 wear a face covering inside a place of business. Face coverings can include professional or homemade masks as well as scarves, bandanas and handkerchiefs, according to the release.
“I myself am following these guidelines because I care about this great community,” Reid said in a letter to the city. “I want to do everything in my personal power to protect it for future generations."
The business must post the policy in an obvious location, according to the release. Any business that fails to post or follow this order could be fined up to $1,000 per violation, according to the release.
