The regulation would apply to any business offering goods or services to the public, much like the one that is already being enforced in the city of Denton and both Dallas and Tarrant County.
The city of McKinney was added to the list Monday. Mayor George Fuller signed the public health policy after discussing it with city leaders.
Businesses and non-profits in McKinney must require all employees and guests to cover their faces. The order goes into effect at midnight Tuesday and lasts until July 6.
The mayor took to Facebook leading up to the change, explaining the reasoning for considering the order. He also asked residents to work with the city as they try to prevent another shutdown.
As for Plano, the discussion will be held at 5:30 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will be live-streamed on the city's website and Facebook page.
