TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Leon County Commissioners will hold a special meeting of the Board on Tuesday, September 7 at 6 p.m. to review the impact COVID-19 has had on the community.
Leon County Commission Chairman Rick Minor said Monday he is open to a special meeting to address impacts seen in the county due to COVID-19.
The meeting will include presentations from County staff and medical and public health professionals, and to evaluate mitigation measures.
When it comes to ways the county could further look at stopping the spread with a countywide mask mandate, Minor says with changes to state laws, there is now a higher standard for policies like mask mandates to mitigate the virus.
