Masks will *not* be worn. That was the requirement spelled out in an email from a sheriff in Florida. Anyone walking into a sheriff's office will be asked to remove their mask. The mandate goes against recommendations from science and government officials
That was the requirement spelled out in an August 11 email to the department from Sheriff Billy Woods of the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The mandate came as the City of Ocala, Florida put a required Mask Mandate Ordinance in place in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The Ocala City Council passed an emergency ordinance last week, requiring masks inside businesses.
"In light of the current events when it comes to the sentiment and/or hatred toward law enforcement in our country today, this is being done to ensure there is clear communication and for identification purposes of any individual walking into a lobby," he wrote.The email doesn't specifically list out why deputies should not wear masks, but Woods does write that he can"already hear the whining" -- insinuating that his decision may not be a popular one.
