Indoor Mask Mandate Reinstated in Atlanta Following Surge in COVID-19 Cases

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is taking steps to fight the growing number of COVID-19 cases in her city by reinstating the citywide indoor mask order. 

The City of Atlanta tweeted the update Tuesday afternoon, one day after Bottoms held a press conference, where she discussed possibly putting the mandate back into effect.

“The order is in response to the rising number of COVID-19 infections and the impact of the Omicron variant,” the tweet read.

The order states that anyone in a public space, including private businesses, must wear a face covering while indoors. Violators will be issued a warning by a city officer. However, if they continue to disobey the order, they may be subjected to a $50 fine.

This comes as many businesses in Atlanta have closed their doors temporarily due to a rising number of infections. Many restaurants, such as Ticonderoga Club, are shut down across the city during a crucial time of year. 

“It’s a difficult time of year to make that decision because this is one of the most profitable times of the year for a restaurant,” said Karen Bremer, president of Georgia Restaurant Association.

Atlanta has seen over 4,000 new COVID-19 cases in the past two weeks. On Monday night, mayor-elect Andre Dickens revealed that he tested positive for the virus and was experiencing mild symptoms.

Today I tested positive for COVID-19 with a rapid test. I am feeling well and have mild symptoms. Please be smart about your holiday plans. Get tested. Wear masks. And get vaccinated. I’ll be back out in the city as soon as I can. Stay safe this holiday season! pic.twitter.com/SClRYb3pBl
