The requirement of masks inside county-controlled buildings goes into effect immediately. It will become part of the emergency order already in place.

Last month, county commissioners declined to take up a mandatory indoor mask policy.

In St. Augustine, face coverings are required inside businesses and other buildings open to the public.

Masks are also mandatory in St. Augustine Beach.
