Orange County, Florida Nears Vaccination Threshold for Elimination of Masks Outdoors

In yesterday’s Orange County Government Coronavirus Update Livestream, Mayor Jerry Demmings announced that the county has nearly reached the 50% vaccination rate threshold. When 50% of Orange County residents age 16 and older have received the COVID-19 vaccine, the current mask mandate will be lifted when outdoors.

Both Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort are located within Orange County.

It’s important to note that both resorts are private property and enforce their own policies. The removal of the mask mandate does not mean masks won’t be required at the parks. We’ll have to wait and hear from the resorts about any policy changes.

Both Disney and Universal recently began removing temperature check stations at their Florida locations.
