ALEXANDRIA, VA: "A stricter face mask requirement is set to take effect on Oct. 1 in Alexandria after a 5-2 vote by City Council on Saturday. By requiring masks in both indoor and outdoor public places, it expands upon Gov. Ralph Northam's statewide executive order requiring masks in indoor public places since May 29.
The city ordinance maintains a face mask must be worn over the nose and mouth in the specified places. The outdoor requirement will apply to public locations where physical distancing cannot be maintained between individuals of different households. It will not apply in personal residences and personal vehicles.
The exceptions to the requirement will include children aged 10 and younger, people who would face a mental or physical health risk by wearing a face covering, people with a health condition preventing use of a face covering, or those trying to communicate with the hearing impaired and should have their mouth visible. Masks will also not be required when swimming, biking, jogging, or engaged in other physical activity in which a face mask has been determined to pose a health risk. Face masks will not be required when eating or drinking but should be worn when waiting to receive food or drinks or during substantial breaks between eating or drinking. Face coverings may be removed when required for medical services and to participate in a religious ritual."
