Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods says that "effective immediately, any individual walking in to any one of our lobbies ... wearing a mask will be asked to remove it."

A previous version of this story incorrectly said the Ocala mayor vetoed the mask resolution the same day that the Marion County sheriff issued his mask ban. The veto occurred Monday, and the order was announced Tuesday.
