City Council Repeals Face Covering Mandate
New Albany City Council decided at its June 1 meeting to rescind the citywide face covering requirement in conjunction with the State of Ohio and Franklin County. Individual businesses may choose to have their patrons wear masks. However, any mask requirement will be at the sole discretion of the business ownership and will not be mandated by the City of New Albany. 
 
State Health Director Stephanie McCloud said that anyone who is not fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask, socially distance, avoid large gatherings, and whenever possible, be outside for activities and gatherings. Only by vaccination and following the basic precautions can we continue to lower the number of COVID-19 cases and save lives. You can schedule a vaccination through gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov.
