Operative words

This Order directs that face coverings shall be worn, regardless of vaccination status, over the mouth and nose, in all indoor public settings, venues, gatherings, and workplaces, such as, but not limited to: offices, retail stores, restaurants and bars, theaters, family entertainment centers, conference centers, and State and local government offices serving the public. 4. Individuals, businesses, venue operators, hosts, and others responsible for the operation of indoor public settings must: a. Require all patrons to wear face coverings for all indoor settings, regardless of their vaccination status; and b. Post clearly visible and easy-to-read signage at all entry points... This Order, which requires face coverings for all individuals in indoor settings and businesses, regardless of vaccination status, takes precedence over the more permissive ETS regarding employee face coverings.
