According to the medium of communication, this order is issued because there is a fear of an increase of the coronavirus in the residents of the state of California.
In addition arises then that the authorities of Orange county ended with the mandatory use of face masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
For the moment, it is not known the outlines of this new order, or how they will be punished for those who do not comply.
It is not yet known how the authorities of California will comply with the provision of Gavin Newsom, but it could be an applicable subpoena or summons or with a fine.
On this new provision, the governor said text, according to The los Angeles Times: “In a nutshell, we are seeing too many people with their faces uncovered, putting at risk the real progress we have made in the fight against the disease.”
Then he added: “The strategy of California to restart the economy and get people back to work will only be successful if the people act safely and follow the health recommendations. That means cover your face, wash your hands and practice the distancing physical”.
What I managed to know is that this term does not apply to people with disabilities, as well as to children under two years of age.
