ATLANTA — The rules about masking are changing again in multiple Georgia counties, as COVID numbers continue to rise.
Starting Monday, all Gwinnett County employees must wear masks inside county buildings and facilities. Those visiting a county building are encouraged to wear masks as well.
Meanwhile, a judge is set to decide if masks are to be required in courtrooms there, as they are in Cobb and Douglas Counties.
Douglas County in particular is saying everyone must wear a mask in public areas of the courthouse, with no exceptions.
11Alive has reached out to several other counties in the area to see if they will be reinstating any mask requirements.
The latest available numbers show COVID cases in the metro are up nearly 30% in the last two weeks.
Fulton, DeKalb, and Clayton Counties are also considered to have a high COVID transmission rate. However, as of right now these counties have not reinstated any mandates.
