ALL,
If you had not heard or read, effective Monday, October 12, 2020, Victoria, a federal state in southeastern Australia, has banned face shields, scarves and bandanas under the Melbourne COVID restrictions. From the Department of Health and Human Services (Victoria) advice, those items no longer meet the test of effectively covering the nose and mouth. Beginning 11:59 PM local time, on Sunday, October 11, 2020, the police can begin fining those people wearing an improper face covering $200AU ($144.67USA). Everyone must leave his/her home or other place of residence wearing a proper mask unless an exemption applies. The Chief Safety Office has recommended a face mask with three layers as the best option.
Do you think that could happen in the United States?
Be Safe, Secure & Sound in Judgement, Vigilant as Always, and Stay Well!
Have a Restful Weekend if you can.
All My Best,
