To address concerns from our business community, while Saratoga County has publicly stated we don’t have the staffing resources to enforce the State mask mandate, this in no way should be interpreted that the County doesn’t support mask use. Saratoga County has had a Public Health Advisory out since August that recommends indoor mask use for everyone regardless of their vaccination status during times of high community transmission. This is still in effect. Further, businesses throughout Saratoga County are within their rights to have a mask for service policy in place. Saratoga County, however, cannot and will not send staff door to door to enforce this state mandate, nor will we fine our small businesses and not-for-profits as the state would like us to do. Our public health efforts will continue to be focused on ensuring everyone who wants a vaccine or booster is able to receive one, which is our best defense against the severe effects of this virus. |
