OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – The City of Oshkosh’s face coverings ordinance is taking effect immediately. The ordinance was triggered as the state mask mandate was struck down.
It requires face coverings of anyone age five years or older in buildings and other enclosed spaces. The ordinance will remain in effect until April 30th. The Oshkosh Common Council approved an ordinance requiring the use of face coverings during a March 9th meeting.
The ordinance creates a number of exceptions similar to orders by states and other municipalities. They include making exceptions for persons from
wearing face coverings while eating and drinking, when necessary to receive certain services, persons with chronic upper respiratory or other medical or other disabilities that may prevent or impair the person’s ability to wear a face covering, persons engaged in exercise and individual speakers or performers.
