The City of Smyrna has issued a mandate requires people to cover their noses and mouths in public. It’s all in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Mayor Derek Norton issued the Executive Order, which is now in effect as of August 21, 2020. The Order requires people to wear masks in any place other than a personal vehicle or residential property. Exemptions include those who have religions objections, as well as people who have medical issues that would make it difficult for them to wear masks.

It is consistent with the Order issued by Governor Kemp which allows for the strengthening of local provisions regarding face coverings. “It is our intent to provide support to local businesses and to continue to do everything we can to protect the health, safety and welfare of Smyrna citizens and staff.” – Mayor Derek Norton

The decision came less than a week after Gov. Brian Kemp signed a new executive order that allowed local governments to issue these mandates for government-owned property. Smyrna and Sandy Springs wee the first metro cities outside of Atlanta to require residents to wear masks in public to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
