Commissioners say they will hold a vote May 11 after hearing from residents.
Pinellas County could soon repeal an order that requires face masks be worn inside public places.
The Pinellas County Commission on Tuesday said it would hold a vote on May 11 following a public hearing to discuss the face mask ordinance.
At that hearing, commissioners will decide to repeal or amend the order, which also puts certain restrictions on bars and restaurants.
The board made the decision after hearing from dozens of residents at Tuesday s meeting - including a majority that oppose the requirement.
But Dr. Ulyee Choe, director of the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, suggested the order should remain in place for a little while longer.
