To help slow the spread of COVID-19, the City of Columbia is requiring face coverings to be worn by all people over the age of 10 in public spaces when six feet of distance cannot be maintained. If you’re eating or drinking or enjoying a socially distant outdoor activity, no face covering is required. Rule of thumb, wear a face covering or mask whenever you're out and about to protect you and those around you. (Most businesses, restaurants, attractions will require one for entry as well.) The city and local leaders have worked tirelessly to keep the heart of SC safe by implementing precautions and health guidelines, such as the mask ordinance, so do your part and #MaskUpColumbiaSC.
