Hmmm. Doesn't match what was being reported.Orange County will not yet lift all mask requirements despite being very close to reaching at least one part of the criteria to end its mandate
Orange County will not yet lift all mask requirements despite being very close to reaching at least one part of the criteria to end its mandate
The latest developments from Orange County as it edges closer to ending mask mandates.
They are not counting rapid tests
Hmmm… so where is the breakdown that doesn’t include the rapid tests? The good news is that we now all know that the mayor will move to Phase 3 when the rolling 14-day average is under 5% as he clearly said it was 70% vaccinated OR the 5% at the presser today.
Seems that way
I do not believe the PCR/rapid tests are broken out in the state reports.
A 1.2% increase in vaccinations since last Friday. I'm hoping it increases much more by next week. If not, it may be a long road to that 70%
We only need to get under 5% for the rolling 14-day average though, and then the county will move to Phase 3. Demings made this clear at the presser today, and he said that would happen in the “very, very near future.”
but how do they know.. thats my only issue with that rule and guidance
That’s why his original target date was July. It will happen but it will take time.
It’s the honor system. They are expecting customers to follow the rules based on their own vaccination status.
They won't be checking, so honor system. And with masks being required for 10+ if unvaccinated, that leaves very few ineligible they could easily identify be age.
June 2 is the next briefing, so even that will not include the effects of Memorial Day.
Looks that way. I would be equally shocked if WDW dropped indoor masks for everyone at that time. Based on the way Disney moved throughout this process that’s way too quick of a change. They worked with the Mayor to set the guidelines and he very clearly stated when they first announced that he didn’t expect to hit phase 3 until July so that was the expectation I’m sure Disney was going on. Things have improved pretty quickly nationally so maybe they accelerate the timeline, but Disney has shown they will follow their own path and not just do what the county does. They required masks at Disney Springs well before OC mandated it.
For some of us the goal is actually herd immunity for the county as opposed to just getting rid of masks at theme parks ASAP.
Orange County is prety much the last big county in Florida that still has a mask mandate.
2 weeks? Weren't they just doing 2 briefings per week
