Face masks are now required if you are out in public in Pulaski County. Commissioners approved the temporary order in an emergency meeting Thursday.

The order states that Hoosiers visiting businesses or public buildings in Pulaski County must cover the nose and mouth. According to WKVI, the requirements do not apply to visiting private homes. It's a Class B misdemeanor if you are seen not wearing a mask while in public, but police officers have been given some discretion on how they enforce it.
