Mask mandate infringes on health freedom
 

END the mask mandate! It is an infringement on our health freedom. Face coverings should be voluntary. Continue to educate and encourage those at risk and also those who are symptomatic of Covid 19 to self isolate. This has always been the norm. As individuals we make choices all the time with regards to our health and the way we live our lives as to what levels of risk we are willing to take. 

Even though Gov. Northam's executive order lists exceptions to the mandate of face coverings, many businesses are refusing admittance to their stores unless face coverings are worn by EVERYONE. This is DISCRIMINATORY to those of us with health conditions that prohibit wearing a mask.
