City order states that people must wear a face mask at all times when they are away from their home, apartment or place of residence. However, the order has some exceptions such as:
- That the person is alone or only with people in their family group
- Which are children under 2 years old or children with respiratory problems
- People with certain physical disabilities as long as they keep their distance when they are in public
- If the use of the mask is a risk during work activity
- If you are in the car while alone or with family
- When you are alone in an office where you do not receive visits from the public
- While alone or with family members outdoors with no one around less than 30 feet away
Authorities reported that in a first offense, people will receive a $ 400 fine, if you repeat you will pay $ 1,000 and in case there is a third, or more violations, they will receive fines of $ 2,000 dollars.
In the case of businesses that do not enforce the mandate on their clients, they will also face fines for the same amounts.
