Massachusetts City Fines over 100 Businesses for Mask Rule Violations
The city of Worcester, Massachusetts, fined over 100 businesses for violating the mask rules as of last week, City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. revealed.
The city went under another mask mandate in mid-September, which requires individuals — even those fully vaccinated — to wear a face covering in “all indoor spaces open to the public” throughout the city, according to the press release.
“This includes, but is not limited to, businesses, retail, restaurants, bars, clubs, places of assembly and fitness centers,” it adds, noting that there is no immediate end in sight, as it remains in effect “until further notice.”
As of Friday, the city issued 103 fines to businesses, despite the fact that the city manager claims they want to “avoid fines toward businesses due to the mandate, but repeat offenders would be penalized,” according to MassLive– READ MORE
