If a business has made every effort to comply with the order and the customer still refuses to wear a face covering, the business should not put their employees in a situation that creates additional conflict. The business can choose to call the police to enforce a trespass situation or they can use their discretion based on space and distancing capabilities.

No, churches and places of worship are not commercial entities. Per the order, they are not required to adopt a policy for face coverings; however we strongly encourage them to consider their use.

Cloth face coverings should:

• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
• Be secured with ties or ear loops
• Include multiple layers of fabric
• Allow for breathing without restriction
• Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape

A face shield without a mask is not the best solution. The mask does a better job of covering the mouth and nose.

You do not have to wear a face covering if it poses a greater mental or physical health, safety, or security risk.

• NOTE: For privacy reasons, people can voluntarily disclose their medical condition to the business and it would be at the discretion of the business as to whether they allow entry.

However, CDC reminds the public that recent studies show that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (“asymptomatic”) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (“pre-symptomatic”) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms. This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity—for example, speaking, coughing, or sneezing—even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms.

• When exercising outside or engaging in physical activity outside.
• While driving alone or with passengers who are part of the same household as the driver.
• When doing so poses a greater mental or physical health, safety, or security risk.
• While operating outdoor equipment or pumping gas.
• While in a building or participating in an activity that requires security surveillance, screening, or identification, for example, banks.
• When consuming food or drink.
