NORMAN â The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners on Monday voted to loosen the courthouse mask order after a presentation from the countyâs emergency management director, George Mauldin.
âFriday Governor Stitt issued an executive order that removed all COVID-19 related restrictions throughout the state, including the requirement to wear face masks in government buildings,â Mauldin told the commissioners. âI recommend that we no longer require the wearing of face masks in county buildings but encourage the use of masks in settings when individuals cannot maintain proper social distance of six feet for 15 minutes or more.â
Commissioners agreed and voted unanimously to support the recommendation.
