On Monday, the Hillsborough Emergency Planning Group (EPG) voted to mandate masks in all of Hillsborough County to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Last wee, during the EPG meeting, Plant City Mayor Rick Lott asked Dr. Holt, if they are seeing an increase of COVID-19 cases due to protest in the Tampa area.
Dr. Holt said, “At this time we have not. We do ask generally, if people been around large groups of people, for whatever reason, are not specifically asking about the gatherings regarding our protesting.
