began requiring the public wear masks in places that are not exempt and where social distancing cannot occur.
Now, local leaders are trying to determine how to enforce that rule, and how the public can help do so.
Not wearing a mask in Shawnee County, if in a place that requires you to do so by the county mask ordinance, may result in a fine of up to $2,500.
Local leaders are trying to determine who will be distributing those fines, and how the legal process will work, according to Shawnee County COVID-19 Incident Commander Dusty Nichols.
Community members who witness businesses not following the ordinance, or people causing a disturbance because they refuse to do so, are encouraged to email the Shawnee County Response Team at covid19info@snco.us or call (785) 251-4848.
