Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings addressed the latest COVID-19 data in a press release today. The county has maintained a 14-day COVID positivity rate of 4.7%. In Mayor Demings’ phased plan, a positivity rate of 5% or lower is required to eliminate all mask mandates.
Mayor Demings did not officially remove the mandate in his press release, but is expected to do so next week.
Earlier today, we confirmed that Universal Orlando Resort changed their mask policy to allow fully vaccinated guests to remove face coverings indoors. At this time, Walt Disney World Resort has not changed their current policy requiring masks at all indoor locations and any attractions.
Both resorts already permit the removal of masks outdoors.
Stay tuned to WDWNT for more updates on Walt Disney World Resort’s face covering policy.
