ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Anyone who needs a face covering can pick one up at any one of several locations across Pinellas and Hillsborough County.

County leaders approved an ordinance mandating the wearing of a mask for anyone inside most public buildings. Recent spikes in COVID-19 cases statewide and within the county itself prompted the move in the interest of public health.

Masks or face coverings are considered an effective way to reduce the level of exposure a person could have with COVID-19, which lowers the risk of infection.
