FLAGLER BEACH, Fla. – Anyone out and about in Flagler Beach will now be required to wear a facial covering after commissioners passed a resolution on Thursday.

Effective immediately, masks or other facial coverings must be worn outdoors and indoors while in public. Masks aren’t required when a person is inside their home or when they are exercising, eating or drinking or maintaining adequate social distance in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19.
