MEMPHIS, Tenn. — "The "Face Covering/Mask Ordinance" passed by Memphis City Council in June states that all businesses should require their employees to wear face coverings while working, while being around members of the public, or even when working in spaces that the public might use later like grocery store aisles.
Not every business in town has played along. The city has already issued multiple citations to Memphis businesses. Some businesses have already received multiple warnings.
City Councilman Dr. Jeff Warren says the maximum amount violators can be charged is $50. He says although the ordinance says $100, $50 is the state mandate for what a city can charge for a violation.
