Budish announces mask advisory for Cuyahoga County; masks to be worn indoors regardless of vaccination status

Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish, seen here during a news briefing Friday, says legislation limiting the ability of Gov. Mike DeWine to issue health orders as he has done during the pandemic puts the public at risk.

Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish, seen here during a previous news briefing, put in place a mask advisory for all county residents on Wednesday.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Noting that Cuyahoga County has entered its third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish on Wednesday announced a mask advisory for all Cuyahoga County residents, regardless of vaccination status.

The mask advisory strongly urges masking in all indoor areas, when around others, to prevent the increase of COVID-19 cases from spiking even higher, Budish said during a virtual media briefing.
