No more mask requirement in City of St Augustine facilities
no longer be required to wear masks when coming into City facilities.
Although masks are no longer required at public meetings or when conducting official business, City Manager John Regan is still using his position to bully those who have objected to the disputed benefit of wearing a facial mask.
“Masks are still strongly encouraged in crowded areas,
per CDC guidelines,” Regan said, despite Executive Orders 21-101 and 21-102. “I would also like to remind the public to
remain respectful of each other’s
personal wishes when it comes to wearing or not wearing a mask.”
Remembrance of Confederate soldiers
Confederate Memorial Day. In some of those states, the observance is called “
Confederate Heroes Day” or “
Confederate Decoration Day“.
The legislature in the State of Florida enacted the cultural holiday to be observed on the fourth Monday in April each year, as did Alabama and Georgia. Mississippi designates the “last Monday in April” to honor these distinguished American veterans who died in military service. So, it usually falls on the same day in all four states.
Several St Johns County residents whose ancestors fought in the American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – April 9, 1865) tell Historic City News that with COVID-19 restrictions loosening, they will enjoy the Monday Holiday by getting outdoors with their families and friends.
