GOV. JUSTICE ORDERS MASK WEARING FOR BUILDINGS, PRIVATE AND PUBLIC

(07/07/2020)

People going into buildings in West Virginia, both public and private, will have to wear some type of face covering if they can’t stay a social distance of at least six feet from others. Despite the mandatory mask order, the governor says no one will be fined or taken to jail for not complying. He says its about appealing to the conscience of West Virginians to do the right and safe thing. In the last two weeks, West Virginia has seen a spike in people testing positive for COVID-19. The governor says it’s all about public safety and health. "Wear your mask. It’s the only way we can stop this,” said Gov. Jim Justice, (R) West Virginia. State health officials say the mask wearing edict falls under a declaration of an emergency, and things are getting worse, not better. “Today we have the 7th largest R-T level in the nation at 1.27, and it’s been increasing very consistently,” said Dr. Clay Marsh, WV COVID-19 Czar.
