Hillsborough County Extends Mask Mandate

Travis Daily July 14th, 2020

Hillsborough County planners have cast their votes to extend the countywide mask order.

As positive COVID-19 numbers rise, leaders in Hillsborough County met Monday and voted to extend the mask order for another seven days, it was originally put into action on June 24th. I originally thought it was an order in place indefinitely but they plan to revisit the mandate every seven days. I’ve gotten so used to wearing my mask I catch myself keeping it on in the car and in the house. I don’t realize I have it on until I sit down for dinner or my wife tells me to take it off.

Hillsborough County launched a Coronavirus Dashboard that contains a lot of important information. Check it out HERE!
