Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo on Wednesday ordered residents to cover their faces in public, the latest effort by local government to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The new rules, which require residents 10 and older to cover the nose and mouth when outside the home, will take effect Monday and last 30 days. Acceptable garments include a homemade mask, scarf, bandana or handkerchief. Medical masks or N-95 respirators are not recommended as they are most needed by first responders and health workers.
Under the order, the county’s 4.7 million residents must cover their faces at all times except when exercising, eating or drinking; the exemptions also include when individuals are alone, at home with roommates or family, or when wearing a mask poses a greater risk to security, mental or physical health.
Employers at businesses deemed essential under Harris County’s stay-at-home order must provide face coverings and training to workers whose jobs require them to come into contact with colleagues or the public.
only wear balaclavas and offical Yas Forums safety squad safety glasses or goggles. They don't care about the facemasks because their AI cams can defeat them and identify us. Cover entire head, maybe add a mustache
Nobody is enforcing this is psycho leftist land of Travis county. Harris county will be the same. Im sitting in a restaurant drinking a diet coke waiting for takeout and bullshitting with staff who are all maskless. This shit is so retarded.
