The City of Clemson reportedly extended their mask cordinance for another 60 days to try to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community according to the Greenville News.
Face coverings in public places help reduce the risk of transmission and the city police wrote over 147 tickets ($25 each) in downtown Clemson over the weekend according to the police chief. "We had educated for approximately 60 days and shifted to enforcement of the ordinance," Stone told WYFF News 4 on Wednesday. The ordinance will extend until around October 24 unless voted down eventually by the City Council.
