Updated Mask Ordinance:

On June 1, 2021 Fayetteville City Council revised the City's mask mandate based on updated guidance from CDC and the Fayetteville Board of Health. The following recommendations are now in place under Ordinance 6441:

  • Everyone is recommended to get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible
  • Fully vaccinated persons are not required to wear masks in indoor public settings (exceptions are mass transit, healthcare settings, prisons and jails, and homeless shelters)
  • Not fully vaccinated persons are recommended to wear masks until becoming fully vaccinated (exceptions are children under the age of 2)
  • Fayetteville's mask ordinance expires on July 28, 2021 when a state law banning local mask mandates takes effect

Please note: private businesses can require employees and customers to wear masks. Reasonable accommodations may be made for someone who can't wear a mask because of a disabling medical condition.
