City of Enterprise issued the following announcement on July 16.
Mayor William E. Cooper and city leaders appeal to everyone in the Enterprise area to follow the state mandate to wear masks in public.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey issued the mandate Wednesday, citing the rising case numbers and deaths attributed to COVID-19, Coronavirus.
“Do the right thing and wear a mask,” Cooper said, repeating Ivey’s message that every Alabamian should exercise personal responsibility and follow the recommended practices.
“‘Mask Up Enterprise!’ will be the rallying cry for our city while we are battling the rapid spread of COVID-19 in our community,” he said.
The state mandate says “each person shall wear a mask or other facial covering that covers his or her nostrils and mouth at all times when within six feet of a person from another household in any of the following places: an indoor space open to the general public, a vehicle operated by a transportation service, or an outdoor public space where 10 or more people are gathered.” Exceptions are children under six; anyone with medical conditions or disabilities that prevents them from wearing a mask, anyone while they are eating; anyone getting a service, such as dental work, that cannot be done with a mask on; people who are exercising in a gym setting or playing in an athletic event where a six-foot distance is maintained; and people who must remove the mask to speak to an audience, with a six-foot separation from others; or anyone who must take off the mask for effective communication with individuals who lip-read. An exception also exists when a person is required to remove a mask for identification, security or screening purposes.
