​ORDERS, ACTIONS AND ​ANNOUNCEMENTS

*NEW* PALM BEACH COUNTY MASK MANDATE
Palm Beach County's facial covering mandate remains in place. Although the Governor's order suspends the collection of fines and penalties enforced upon individuals, it does not preempt local governments from assessing fines or otherwise penalizing businesses that violate emergency orders including mask mandates.  Palm Beach County has in the past, and will continue as long as the facial covering order is in place, to educate and assist with compliance before fines or penalties against businesses are levied.

GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDER 20-244 MOVING ALL OF FLORIDA'S 67 COUNTIES INTO PHASE 3.
Executive Order 20-244 does the following:

• Removes state-level restrictions on businesses, such as restaurants.


• Provides that no COVID-19 emergency ordinance may prevent an individual from working or operating a business, giving Floridians and business owners needed certainty and the ability to provide for themselves and their families.


• Provides that restaurants may not be limited by a COVID-19 emergency order by any local government to less than 50% of their indoor capacity


• Suspends all outstanding fines and penalties, and the collection of such moving forward, applied against individuals related to COVID-19.
