Mask Up in Narberth

Narberth Borough Council passed a new ordinance that mandates mask-wearing in certain public settings. Face masks are required in business districts and on any borough-owned property, such as parks. The ordinance specifies that it does not apply to private dwellings, interactions between relatives living in the same home, or portions of businesses or locations with no public interaction. The ordinance also includes several mask mandate exceptions, including for people inside a personal vehicle, people with a disability or medical or mental health condition that prevents them from wearing a mask, children under two years of age, and anyone with religious beliefs that prevent them from wearing masks. Individuals not in compliance with the mask ordinance will receive a verbal warning for the first offense and $15 fines each time afterward. People responsible for a business who fail to comply will also receive a warning for the first offense, a $50 fine for a second offense and $100 fines for any additional violations. The ordinance takes effect immediately and will remain in place until the borough council terminates it.
