Mayor's COVID-19 First Amended Emergency Rule No. 14 Page 3 of 23 • While working at a desk or work station and not actively engaged with other employees, customers, or visitors, provided that the individual's desk or workstation is not located in a common or shared area and physical distancing of at least six (6) feet is maintained; • Where federal or state safety or health regulations, or a financial institution's policy (based on security concerns), prohibit the wearing of facial coverings; • Except as provided in Exhibit 2 persons actively engaged in exercise activity so long as physical distancing requirements are maintained; • Except as provided in Exhibit 2, while outdoors when physical distance of six (6) feet from other individuals (who are not members of the same household/living unit/residence) can be maintained at all times; An owner or operator of any business or operation shall refuse admission or service to any individual who fails to wear a face covering, unless an exception applies under this section. Businesses or operations may adopt stricter protocols or requirements related to face coverings and face shields. Businesses or operations not enforcing this rule may be subject to enforcement, including fines and mandatory closure. Definition: "Face covering" as used herein means a tightly woven fabric (without holes, vents, or valves) that is secured to the head with either ties or straps, or simply wrapped and tied around the wearer's nose and mouth. Face coverings must comply with the recommendations of the CDC, as such recommendations may change from time to time. The current CDC guidelines are available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face- coverings.html. Examples of compliant homemade masks and other facial coverings may be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/div-cloth- face-coverings.html. A medical grade face -covering is not required. Face shields (plexiglass/clear plastic shields, etc.) are not permitted as substitutes for face coverings unless an exception to the face covering requirement applies. Individuals who are unable to wear a face covering due to medical conditions or disabilities where the wearing of a face covering may pose a health or safety risk to the person, or other exception, are encouraged to wear a face shield instead. The wearing of face coverings is intended to complement, not serve as a substitute, for physical distancing and cleanliness. 2. High risk populations. Elderly and others at high risk for COVID-19 are urged to stay in their residences to the extent possible, except as necessary to seek medical care.
