By ensuring everyone does their part_, you'll surely help prevent unnecessary <br />COVID-19 illnesses and deaths here. <br />We urge you to approve a countywide mask mandate for all in all public spaces. <br />We think a mask requirement logically must include everyone. Retail, service and other business employees <br />should wear masks to help shield colleagues and patrons from infection but patrons also should wear masks <br />to help protect those workers. A mask requirement should apply to people in any public place, not simply <br />those coming in contact with county employees. <br />We realize there will, be exemptions for individuals with some medical conditions or disabilities and young <br />children. We ask you to include a fine or penalty severe enough to dissuade willful violators from continuing <br />to place others at risk. <br />We also urge you to consider mandates/ordinances regarding social distancing requirements in public <br />spaces and crowd size limitations for all gatherings. <br />Thank you for your zealous efforts on behalf of your constituents and others. <br />Patricia Walsh and Phyllis D.
