The risk of coronavirus in Elkhart County reached the highest possible level Wednesday, moving from orange to red and prompting the county health department to issue a new order requiring residents to wear masks when leaving their homes.
The order, which takes effect today, states that every individual must properly wear a face covering over their nose and mouth when they are in an indoor area open to the public, including public transportation; an outdoor public area where a distance of 6 feet from individuals outside of their household cannot be maintained; or a private indoor or outdoor area where a distance of 6 feet from individuals outside of their household cannot be maintained.
The mask mandate and reinforcement of the state order does not require shutdowns that otherwise would interrupt RV industry production.
