Yes, Governor Northam and state legislators please protect workers and all Virginians by making these temporary masks and other regulations mandatory. Protecting workers will continue to curtail the spread of COVID 19 for all Virginians.  Workers deserve protections from increased exposure to COVID 19.  It is counterproductive and shortsighted for businesses to oppose these regulations.  If the pandemic spreads we will have to return to more drastic measures which will throw the economy back further.  Isn't it more costly and inconvenient to replace sick and/or dead employees? Isn't it more costly to lose customers because your employees are spreading COVID 19 unawares?  Please enact these very wise and humane measures to protect workers and all Virginians!
