Virginia Governor Ralph Northam on Tuesday announced a statewide facial coverings requirement as the state reported its largest single-day increase in new coronavirus cases. The mask requirement will go into effect on Friday, he said.
Under the new state guidelines, facial coverings must be worn inside all places where people can congregate, the governor said. Retail businesses, restaurants, barbershops, government buildings and public transit were all identified by Northam as examples of places where the requirements will be in effect.
"I strongly recommend any child who is 3 years old or older wear a face covering to the extent possible," Northam said. "This is a matter of public health, and as a result any enforcement that is needed will be done by our health officials," Northam said."This is not a criminal matter. Our law enforcement, our police and our sheriffs will not have a role in enforcing this."
They tested more people.
If masks don't protect you from getting the virus why do they force people to wear them?! If it's really as bad as they claim make people wear N95 masks + special lab glasses + medical gloves! Otherwise, don't bother!
