Fishers Health Department Board Approves Mask Mandate

The Fishers Health Department passed an ordinance Monday night requiring people to wear masks in the city. 

The health department recommended the order due to a rise in COVID 19 cases in the city.

The mandate will take effect at 8 a.m. on Friday, July 24, requiring everyone in Fishers, outside of those who meet approved exceptions, must wear a covering on their nose and mouth when at a public indoor place or outdoors when a distance of six feet from people who are not part of their household cannot be maintained.

The order requires Fishers residents to wear a cloth face-covering in all public indoor facilities including, but not limited to:

• Retail and grocery stores
• Restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues
• Salons and personal care facilities
• Gyms and fitness centers
• Office and commercial buildings
• Government buildings

Public indoor locations that refuse to enforce the mask mandate may face enforcement actions by the Fishers Health Department.
