Seattle to distribute free cloth face coverings as directive enforces the wearing of masks
19 May 2020 - 15:48
As everyday activity in Seattle slowly resumes, all members of our communities need to do their part to slow the rate of transmission of Covid-19. People are now required to cover their mouths and noses when they’re likely to be in contact with others, including while riding public transit, visiting stores or restaurants, and in crowded outdoor spaces.
Many people already make regular practice of this common-sense precaution. Last week’s announcement makes it mandatory from Monday. The directive does not apply to children aged two and younger, or to people with certain disabilities or medical conditions that would make mask-wearing difficult or unwise.
