8 places that’ll force you to wear a face mask even if your state lifts COVID mask mandates

[Andy Meek]

In a coronavirus update interview with CNBC on Friday, former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said he thinks that, for states and localities looking at easing up on coronavirus-related restrictions and public safety measures right now, face mask mandates should be the last one to be rolled back. “I think it’s the kind of thing we need to be doing around the country ... at least providing a map of where we’re heading if the situation continues to improve without taking our foot off the brake all at once," Gottlieb explained. Just don't touch the face mask mandates yet.

He made those comments out of a belief by public health experts which holds that Americans need to start being told about how we get to the end of the pandemic. That they need to get a clear sense of how we get out of all this, else they're likely to feel hopeless or cavalier enough that they might start ignoring the safety measures that have been in place for around a year now. Case in point: State leaders in Texas and Mississippi in recent days are starting to do exactly that, having announced their rollback of coronavirus measures including state-level face mask mandates. "We must now do more to restore livelihoods and normalcy for Texans by opening Texas 100 percent," Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement about the decision. "We are ensuring that all businesses and families in Texas have the freedom to determine their own destiny."
