More On Coronavirus
In Massachusetts:
Effective Today, Wednesday, May 6, 2020, Governor Baker issued an Executive Order requiring face masks or cloth face coverings in all public places where social distancing is not possible. This applies to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Exceptions include children under the age of 2 and those unable to wear a mask or face covering due to a medical condition.
Starting Friday, all Rhode Islanders in public places will be required to wear a face covering.
And though exceptions will be made for those with medical or developmental conditions — as well as those walking or exercising alone — others will face a still-undetermined civil penalty for violating the new order. The face-covering requirement will be part of a new normal, Gov. Gina Raimondo said Tuesday. More
With the majority of people now in their seventh week of the shut downs, and the majority of people have been wearing masks for over a month now, I think the state governments were a bit slow on this one.
