Greenville City Council Enters Order Requiring Masks

Jul 13, 2020

During the special call meeting held Friday July 10, 2020, the Greenville City Council, by a vote of 5-0, entered an order requiring the wearing of masks and/or face coverings in all public places and private establishments including grocery stores, retail stores, convenience stores, at work, and at any time where there is contact with people outside of their households. All local, state, and federal mandates should be followed. 

Mayor Simmons says, "It remains the City of Greenville’s goal to protect and save lives during these unprecedented times. As Christians, the greatest love we can show during this pandemic to our fellow man is to wear a mask or face covering. For our elderly and vulnerable adult population, wear a mask. For our first responders and medical personnel on the frontlines, wear a mask. For your loved ones, wear a mask. For our children, wear a mask. I applaud the Greenville City Council for their leadership in mandating the wearing of masks and/or face coverings in this city."
