The St. Louis County health department on Friday toughened its order requiring face masks, in an effort to keep the coronavirus from spreading.
Starting Monday, businesses wont be able to serve people who aren't wearing masks, and children over age 5 will have to wear them in school. People will also need to wear masks at indoor and outdoor businesses.
Health officials cited an increasing number of coronavirus cases and the growing risk of transmission among schoolchildren.
As face-to-face interactions increase, and as scientific evidence indicates that COVID-19 is spread by asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic individuals, it is critical that all individuals wear face coverings in public settings, including children in school settings, health officials said in Fridays order.

It's nice to see, that more and more folks are taking this seriously, and aren't messing around (wearing of masks, other steps).
