Operative words

Today, Cleveland City Council amended and approved the mandatory use of masks in public spaces as well as certain penalties for individuals and businesses that do not comply... This includes mandatory use in bars, restaurants, shared office settings, rideshares and other shared spaces... Any business or person violating the mask or safe-seating order (which maintains social distancing of at least six feet between patrons) is subject to civil penalties. Following the issuance of a warning, there is a $25 fine per violation. Any City business with an employee who becomes ill with the coronavirus, is required to immediately disinfect and sanitize the premises. Following the issuance of a warning, a $1,000 fine may be issued for each violation. If that fine is ignored, the business could face a $3,000 fine for each violation.

Enforcement

Civil penalties $25, $1,000, $3,000 (Ord. 556-2020)

Notes

Also records: 'While business is operating as normal, the Public Utilities Building is closed to the public' and that disconnections for non-payment remained suspended.
