Pierce County issues mask mandate for large, outdoor events
Beginning Tuesday, anyone over the age of 5, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a face covering at large, outdoor events in Pierce County.
Dr. Anthony L-T Chen, Director of Health for Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, issued the mandate on Friday, just a day after King County’s health officer, Dr. Jeff Duchin, did the same.
Large gatherings means any event with 500 or more people in attendance.
“We also recommend you wear mask in any crowded outdoor setting where physical distancing is not possible,” Pierce County said in a news release.
