Pearland Mayor Tom Reid signed an order requiring people to wear masks inside businesses, the city announced in a June 25 press release.
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."
