Is everyone wearing masks? Who doesnt have to?
Ill admit masks are not comfortable, but the city that has encouraged their use to control the spread of coronavirus now says they are necessary. But the citys rule was a little vague at first, stating that masks be work in all public spaces when you cant socially distance. When Executive Proclamation 2020-005 came out at the end of the day, it addressed some of the confusion, including what age children needed to comply. We respect people coming in by wearing mask also, so we want to make sure we are all on the same page, Summey said. As long as my people are wearing a mask and were doing our preventative measures and we can also socially distance, we will take it case-by-case, he said.
