New mask recommendations start Monday in Montgomery County

FOX 29's Hank Flynn has the latest details on the mask recommendation that takes effect Monday in Montgomery County.

Montgomery County is recommending wearing a mask outdoors, regardless of vaccination status starting Monday due to high level of COVID-19 community transmission.

Officials say if you cannot stay at least six feet apart from people who do not live in your household you should wear a mask. 

Masking is also recommended when people are not actively participating in sports practice, activity or events, or high-intensity activities. This includes while on the bench, in locker rooms and riding in team transportation.

The county continues to recommend masks be worn in indoor public spaces.
