I oppose making ETS permanent. These temporary standards have caused great difficulty, including physical and emotional stress, also created an awkward work environment for our staff. In the automotive repair industry our employees are easily distanced 6 feet apart throughout the day. Social distancing of 6 feet between customers and staff is possible and simple to comply with. The mask also creates communication and safety issues between staff members due to muffling and being unable to see lips. Communication with customers has been hindered due to muffling and older customers not being able to understand our staff. 

Demanding businesses continue with masks permanently is outrageous.
