Palm Beach County is doing away with its mask mandate that s been in place for over a year. The governor s order has usurped our countywide mandate. We are going to follow the governor s order and the CDC guidelines.
County Administrator Verdenia Baker says she is still going to require employees and people doing business inside county buildings to wear face coverings. She said with Hurricane Season nearly here, the county is already short-staffed.
