Tift Co. sees decrease in COVID-19 cases, officials considering mask ordinance By Bobby Poitevint | April 6, 2021 at 10:42 PM EDT - Updated April 7 at 12:31 AM
TIFTON, Ga. (WALB) - Tift County leaders are looking to move away from their current mask ordinance.
Commissioners are looking at creating a hybrid ordinance using ingredients from Tuesday night’s discussion and what’s currently in place.
Tift County’s current ordinance has been a topic of discussion since last fall. Currently, people have to wear masks in Tift County buildings to help combat the spread of COVID-19.
However, commissioners said a change may be needed as COVID-19 numbers decline within Tift County and the county no longer fits into Governor Brian Kemp’s executive orders, which helped county commissioners layout the current requirements.
