Elkhart County Commission encouraging residents to wear face masks

 

ELKHART, Ind. – Elkhart County Commissioners are joining in on the call for residents to wear face masks out in public.

Commissioners passed a resolution supporting the new face mask guidelines from the County Health Department.

Those recommendations are that Elkhart County residents wear masks in public facilities, outdoor events and in private homes if social distancing is not possible.

The resolution also advises people keep gathering at less than 50 people even though Indiana’s stage four plan allows gatherings of up to 250.
