RACINE, WI — Racine's mask ordinance went into effect Monday and city officials are making free masks available to local residents who need them.
Under the new ordinance, anyone 4 years old and up are expected to wear masks while they are outside their home at indoor public spaces, in outdoor spaces when social distancing cannot be maintained, when using any form of public transportation, and when they are with people from outside their household or family.
Racine officials said both the Racine Police Department and the Racine Fire Department have masks available for pickup by residents beginning on Monday.
