The Springfield Police Department conducted masking ordinance compliance checks at several area businesses Friday and Saturday night. Officers looked for whether or not businesses were using signage; enforcing masking, social distancing and capacity limits; and making sure patrons were putting on masks when moving throughout a business, according to the department.
Officers witnessed “a high level of compliance,” and all businesses they checked were complying with capacity limits. Employees of the businesses wore masks, according to a news release.
No citations have been issued at this time for violating the masking ordinance, according to the police department, but officers will be following up to ensure compliance.
