The orders were announced Wednesday amid signs of an uptick in cases of COVID-19 in Missouri.“I know that’s going to be hard,” Mayor Lyda Krewson said in answer to a question about gyms during an online news conference Wednesday. “But especially when you’re breathing hard and all that, you need to wear a mask.”Jacob Long, Krewson’s spokesman, clarified Thursday that people exercising in outdoor areas of fitness centers where social distancing is possible are exempt from the requirement. The city’s updated health order was made public on Thursday.The county’s indoor mask order, released on Wednesday, includes an exception for people playing a sport, exercising or using exercise equipment while exerting themselves.Doug Moore, a spokesman for County Executive Sam Page, said county health officials deemed those to be “proper exceptions” to the face mask rule.He added that the exception applies only to actual exercise and that people using indoor gyms and fitness centers in the county are required to wear a mask at other times, such as in a locker room or walking through the facilities.Both orders apply to all individuals over the age of 9 while inside businesses and other public accommodations and outside when social distancing isn’t possible.The two governments also have exceptions for certain health conditions such as people with respiratory issues.Meanwhile, the county order also specifically applies to outdoor sections of businesses and other public facilities.Sign up here to get the latest health &amp; fitness updates in your inbox every week!{{title}}{{summary}}You don't have any notifications.Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device.Topics
