The short answer...indoors (except of course, not in your home).

Mayor Jane Castor made an announcement at the Hillsborough County Emergency Policy Group (EPG) meeting that she is going to enforce a mandatory mask ordinance for the city of Tampa beginning Friday.

In Hillsborough County, there is a spike in cases in people under the age of 35. These cases are specifically being seen in the city of Tampa.

Mayor Castor said, "They are young, they’re strong, they’re veralient, they’re [getting through] this but they’re going to home to their parents, to their grandparents, and we’re going to see a skyrocket at those deaths. I’m going to put a mandatory mask ordinance on the city of Tampa right now."

The ordinance begins Friday, June 19 at 5 p.m. ET.
