As we learned over the holiday weekend, Atlanta Mayor (and potential Biden running mate) Keisha Lance Bottoms has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Her husband has tested positive as well. While she reportedly remains asymptomatic, she maintains that she has “no idea” where or when she could have been exposed to the novel coronavirus. As I asked at the time, is it possible she might not have contracted the disease if she’d worn a mask more often? Perhaps she’s taken that possibility to heart because it was announced this week that she was signing an order to make masks mandatory in her city. And yesterday she did just that. (Fox 5 Atlanta)
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms signed an executive order Wednesday evening, mandating the use of masks throughout the city.
The order requires anyone within city limits and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, to wear a mask or a cloth face covering over their nose and mouth, except those with a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a face mask or are under the age of 10.
“We will continue to take active measures to help slow the spread of COVID-19 infections in Atlanta. Public health experts overwhelmingly agree that wearing a face covering helps slow the spread of this sometimes deadly virus,” Mayor Bottoms said in a statement.
