COCOA, Fla. – Cocoa City Council unanimously voted in favor of a mask requirement emergency ordinance at a meeting Wednesday, News 6 partner Florida Today reported.
The ordinance will require masks or face coverings to be worn in places that are open to the public starting Saturday. City Council will review the ordinance every 30 days to determine whether it should be extended or allowed to expire based on the status of the coronavirus pandemic.
The mask requirement comes as some Brevard municipalities—such as Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach—have passed similar rules.
