BOB JOHNSON FOR CONGRESS issued the following announcement on June 30.
Savannah Mayor Van Johnson issued an emergency order Tuesday mandating the wearing of face masks when out in public spaces and inside commercial establishments within the city limits. The mandate begins at 8 a.m. on Wednesday and runs until further notice.
The move is in response to a rise in confirmed COVID-19 cases in Chatham County.
“Frankly, and honestly, I do not believe we have any other choice,” Johnson said during his weekly briefing Tuesday morning at City Hall recapping the recent increase in COVID-19 cases across the county.
The numbers speak for themselves. These are not the numbers Savannah wants or needs to break.”
