The sheriff in a central Florida COVID-19 hot spot has issued a directive prohibiting deputies, staff and visitors to department offices from wearing protective face masks, an order that came as a local mayor and city council squared off over a mask ordinance for businesses.
Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods sent an email Tuesday informing the approximately 900 people working in the department that "when you are on-duty/working as my employee and representing my Office – masks will not be worn," the Ocala Star-Banner reports.
Woods added that "effective immediately, any individual walking in to any one of our lobbies (which includes the main office and all district offices) that is wearing a mask will be asked to remove it."

Further proof that conservatives have made a potentially deadly virus a political issue. A person walking through the lobby wearing a mask is not causing anyone any harm yet they will be asked to remove it.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:07 pm The sheriff in a central Florida COVID-19 hot spot has issued a directive prohibiting deputies, staff and visitors to department offices from wearing protective face masks, an order that came as a local mayor and city council squared off over a mask ordinance for businesses.

Imagine being a 60 year old clerical worker in the building with a high risk husband at home and not being allowed to protect yourself?

The police are wearing them here in Ontario when they stop vehicles and they are expecting the driver to mask up before they roll the window down.
