ONT restates mask requirements

Ontario International Airport is reminding all customers, visitors and employees that they must wear masks or other proper face covers while at the airport.

“Like others that have issued safer-at-home orders, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health requires anyone visiting essential businesses, which includes Ontario International, to keep their faces covered to limit the spread of coronavirus,” said Atif Elkadi, the airport’s deputy chief executive officer, in a statement.

“We at ONT have done much to prevent the spread of the disease and must remain vigilant in our efforts.”

San Bernardino County describes scarves of dense fabric without holes, bandanas and neck gaiters as sufficient coverings. County public health officials are also discouraging non-essential workers from using personal protective equipment, such as N95 masks, for non-medical reasons.

Everyone at the airport should also continue to wash hands with soap and water regularly, avoid touching their faces, and cough into their sleeves, according to public health officials.
