(Mississippi).- - While Mississippi’s mask mandate has been lifted for many, Gov. Reeves is keeping the order to mask up in place for close-contact businesses and schools. Reeves said he made the decision not to extend the mask order on Wednesday because COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have seen a significant drop since the mandate was first put in place two months ago.
Restaurants, bars, and casinos
Safety and social distancing guidelines are still in effect for restaurants and food service workers. However, the new executive order does not mandate customers to wear masks in restaurants unless the business has its own policy requiring them.
Restrictions on alcohol, though, remain in place. That means alcoholic drinks can still only be served to customers that are already seated and may not be sold between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Bars and restaurants must maintain updated floor plans that ensure at least six feet of separation between each party, whether indoor or outdoor. However, seating capacity is still limited and party sizes are not to exceed a maximum of 10 people per table.
Restaurant and bar employees who come in contact with guests are still required to wear a mask.
As for casinos, the Mississippi Gaming Commission said Wednesday that despite, the statewide mask mandate expiring, mask requirements remain in place at all casinos in the state for employees and guests.
Despite the limitations still in place, it is still a relaxation of the stricter guidelines that were previously in place.
Social gatherings and outdoor events
The latest executive order allows for more attendance at outdoor K-12 extracurricular events, such as football games. It also limits group gatherings when you are unable to social distance to no more than 20 indoors and 100 outdoors.
While masks are no longer required by state law, businesses can still require they be worn in their establishments. And some businesses say they will continue to enforce it for now.
