"Now, I can already hear the whining and just so you know I did not make this decision easily," Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said in a memo to staff.
A Florida sheriff barred deputies from wearing facial coverings in most work settings, authorities said Wednesday, even as the state continues to struggle with record-breaking coronavirus numbers.
"We can debate and argue all day of why and why not. The fact is, the amount of professionals that give the reason why we should, I can find the exact same amount of professionals that say why we shouldn’t.""This is no longer a debate nor is it up for discussion," he wrote. Woods anticipates pushback from the community and told employees to walk away from anyone criticizing his measure.
The policy would be in full force inside any sheriff buildings and civilians coming into that office would be barred from wearing a mask.
