Mayor Tom Reid issued an order requiring businesses to make masks mandatory in response to the growing number of COVID-19 cases throughout the region.
The mask order, in parallel with the orders for all of Harris and Fort Bend counties which each include parts of the City of Pearland, states that all commercial businesses in the City of Pearland that offer goods or services to the public must implement a policy requiring all employees and visitors over the age of 10 to wear a face covering.
The mask order comes following the genuine and justified concern for the City’s increased case counts, rate of infection, and hospitalizations.
In addition to the mandatory mask order, the City is also encouraging businesses and residents to continue social distancing and hand sanitizing.
