Jacksonville Mandates Face Masks, As It Prepares To Host Trump At RNC
Jacksonville, Fla., is now requiring people to wear face masks while indoors and in public spaces where they can't stay 6 feet away from other people, hoping to slow a spike in coronavirus cases.
"Every person over the age of six who is in a public space shall wear a face mask or covering when not able to engage in social distancing,"The rule does not apply to people who can't wear a mask due because of medical reasons. It took effect late Monday in Jacksonville and Duval County, which share a unified government.
In the past week, Duval County repeatedly broke records for daily new coronavirus cases, breaking the 700-case mark as it set new highs on several consecutive days, according to data from theJacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry had been criticized for his response to the COVID-19 crisis — particularly his order to, only one month into a broad shutdown. At the time, Florida's death toll from the virus was reaching new peaks.
Curry has worn a mask at high-profile events, and he has urged others to follow health experts' advice to cover their faces. But he has also spoken against adopting a face mask mandate.last week. But he added,"Group think says universal, mandated mask wearing is the answer." Seeking to refute that idea, Curry said requiring masks"won't solve large groups of people congregating in bars, etc. that are violating reopening capacity requirements.", urging them to require masks. The letter also said officials should postpone or drastically scale down the Republican National Convention, which Jacksonville is preparing to host in late August.
