  • Masks win political momentum despite GOP holdouts

    Jul 17, 2020

    The political momentum behind mask mandates is growing quickly, with more governors issuing orders that people wear face coverings in public and major retailers uniting behind them. Cloth masks or face coverings are now required in public in about half of the states, but some governors — mostly Republicans — are still resisting calls to issue statewide mandates, leading to a patchwork of rules across the country. Public health experts for several weeks now have pushed for states to issue masking requirements to stop the spread of COVID-19 and...
