Pasco County has dropped the countywide mask order, but public schools will still require them on school grounds. The county is still recommending, “continued use of face coverings in most indoor public places where social distancing cannot be maintained.” The reason the mask order is being lifted is because of declining hospitalization rates and the increasing number of residents who have been vaccinated.
With COVID-19 vaccination rates steadily rising, Pasco County officials have rescinded the countywide mask order that was issued at the beginning of the pandemic. https://t.co/ssgrxTH1c9
