Operative words

Mayor Fischer called upon local employers to join Metro Government, Jefferson County Public Schools, Ford and many others in adopting recommendations to wear masks... the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its guidance on mask wearing in indoor public spaces and in K-12 schools. As a result, JCPS and Louisville Metro Government have since adopted these recommendations for all students, employees, and visitors.
