The City Council voted 3-2 against the emergency mask ordinance suggested by Councilman Matt Wardell that would have required people in Ocala to wear face coverings in indoor locations amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Emergency Ordinance was supported by numerous health officials that were present and spoke during the meeting in the council chamber.
