Governor DeWine announced a face mask mandate today from the Ohio Department of Health for “red-alert counties” such as Cuyahoga County, effective tomorrow, July 8th, at 6:00 p.m. This mandate will be in effect for the duration that Cuyahoga County remains in a Level 3 Public Health Emergency.  Masks are required indoors (other than residences) and outdoors when social distancing is not possible. Further details of the mandate will be forthcoming from the Governor’s Office and will be provided.

Additionally, Mayor George and Lakewood City Council have been exploring a local mask mandate.
