The county that the Florida Keys resides is extending their face mask policy for the next year and if you don't comply, you can face a $500 fine.
According to the Monroe County Board of Community Commissioner's Facebook page, "Facial coverings over the nose and mouth must be worn in business establishments and other public settings where there is a roof overhead. The ordinance applies to employees and customers. The ordinance contains exceptions when face coverings may be removed while seated to eat and drink in a restaurant or bar and while exercising in a gym if at least six feet away from other people. The City of Key West and other municipalities may adopt ordinances with different requirements. This ordinance will be reviewed quarterly by the commissioners.
A covering over the nose and mouth may include a face mask, homemade mask, or other cloth, silk, or linen covering, such as a scarf, bandana, handkerchief, or other similar cloth covering. Medical and surgical face masks, such as "N95" masks, should be reserved for health care personnel and other first responders with the greatest need for such personal protective equipment. Children 6 years old or younger are not required to wear a mask."
