Dear Chamber Members,

We apologize for the short notice but despite Mayor Joseph P. Hatem, MD, MPH's message from June 16th where he indicated a desire to work with the Chamber, we did not receive this announcement until just a few minutes ago.

Our hope is that you had already been practicing the 3 W's in your business and this immediate new requirement will not put you into a difficult position. We encourage you to read the proclamation carefully as it is specific, detailed and it extends beyond retail shops and restaurants.

If you have questions, you may contact the Mayor at 910-477-2573 or email josephp_hatem@southportnc.org

As of 5:00pm TODAY!

Wearing of Face Coverings- All persons who are present within the jurisdiction of the City of Southport are hereby required to wear a clean face covering any time they are or will be in contact with other people who are not household members in public or private spaces where it is not possible to maintain social distance or where recommended social distance practices are not being followed.
