City Manager Matthew Morton said in an update Tuesday the Palm Coast mask resolution has been in place since July 9, 2020 and on May 4 a new resolution is up for consideration. If approved, it would revoke the mask mandate within the city of Palm Coast immediately.
“While the mask requirement has been lifted at City facilities for both employees and the public, those who choose to wear masks are more than welcome to do so,” Morton said.
City leaders consulted with the City of Palm Coast Emergency Management team and health leaders before considering removing the mandate.
