Nashville metro government is requiring employees and visitors to wear a mask before entering government buildings, Nashville Public Radio reports. A new executive order from Mayor John Cooper requires anyone “inside any building or indoor space that is owned, managed, or leased” by Metro to wear a face covering. The order exempts employees who work alone in an office, as well as children under the age of two, older kids who cannot safely wear a mask and adults whose health or safety would be jeopardized if they wore a face covering. The city says it will have masks on hand to distribute to visitors who do not have their own face coverings as long as supplies last.
