Masks Required for All Indoor Settings within the Town of Sharon, including municipal buildings
 

Cases of COVID-19 in vaccinated and unvaccinated residents due to the highly contagious Delta variant have been increasing in Sharon since July 2021. On July 27, 2021, the centers for Disease Control issued an advisory for vaccinated persons in areas of substantial and high transmission to wear a mask while indoors. A mask mandate is an immediate intervention to prevent the spread of disease within spaces open to the public.

Pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 111 sections 31 and 104, the Sharon Board of Health adopts a health mandate effective August 23, 2021, requiring face coverings for all persons at all times when inside public spaces or private spaces open to the public. This mandate applies to individuals aged two years and over except where an individual is unable to wear a face covering due to a medical condition or disability. If a customer refuses to wear a face mask or cloth face covering for non-medical reasons, a business may decline entry to the individual.

This mandate will be in effect whenever the LEVEL OF COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for Norfolk County is categorized as either “Substantial” or “High” over a consecutive two week period.

This mandate will no longer be in effect whenever the LEVEL OF COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for Norfolk County is categorized as “Low” or “Moderate” over a consecutive two week period.

Implementation guidance from the Sharon Health Department:

  • Food service establishment customers may only remove face coverings when seated.
  • Houses of worship, lodging, retail shops, private membership clubs, and fitness centers are all covered by this order.
  • At personal services establishments (e.g., barber shops and nail salons) all customers and workers are required to wear face coverings, except for the brief duration of skin or beard care that occurs on the face.
  • All businesses open to the public must post signage at entry points advising customers that facemasks must be worn. Establishment staff must supervise and enforce this requirement.
