Please, keep the mandatory masks. As a worker, the amount of people that don't wear masks as it is makes me fearful to go to work every day, without the mandate it can only get worse. People will not make the choice to keep those around them safe if you give them the choice, as they have shown time and time again during this pandemic. I urge you, keep valuing the health and safety of Virginia's workers over the pressure from those that have no clue what they're talking about. Please, keep the workers safe above all. We aren't some class that should have our lives risked because people don't want the inconvenience of wearing a mask.
