Operative words
the Cuyahoga County Board of Health is providing notice that it supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guidance recommending the use of face masks while indoors and near others, regardless of vaccination status, in areas of substantial or high transmission, which now include Cuyahoga County... Healthcare facilities, businesses and other organizations may require masks... (CCBH page:) For those who are visiting our main office or attending CCBH functions at an offsite location, masks are required for everyone 2 years of age and older. The requirement includes public meetings, training sessions and any other gathering hosted by CCBH staff.
Enforcement
Recommendation to the public; requirement at CCBH locations and CCBH-hosted meetings (food-service licensing, plan review, training sessions)
Notes
S.B. 22 (eff. June 23, 2021) removed the Board's power to issue general orders to classes of persons; this is why the Board proceeded by recommendation while requiring masks at its own facilities.
Retrieval noteThe CCBH page quoted (snapshot Aug. 5, 2021) states the CCBH-location requirement; the PDF is the public recommendation.
