It is starting and marin county is coming next week and other counties are about to follow, as well. The city of fremont put an order in place. Didnt wait for the county to get its act together. Put a mandate in place that you have to cover your face when out in public and you could face a 100 fine if you dont.

Protect your own health and some people are not taking it serious. Wear the mask and were taking it very serious. I think theyre thinking invincible maybe or it could not happen to them. Marin countys order will go into effect on wednesday. Other counties are expected to announce requirements today. They have not said which ones. Just that more are coming. Officials say you dont have to wear one in your car by yourself or out on a walk or run by yourself. But they encourage you to have it with you in case you encounter other people.

Jobina fortson is at the live desk with details. Good morning, kumasi. President trump admits its up to the governors to decide when states can pull back on social distancing measures and reopen businesses. But the president did lay out some recommendations during yesterdays press conference. He believes that the country should reopen in phases. Once states see a twoweek decline in the number of people with coronavirus symptoms and in the percentage of people who test positive, it can enter phase one. Businesses can slowly look at ways to reopen. People may be allowed to social in groups with fewer than ten people, but would still be required to social distance. If states go two weeks without a rebound in covid19 cases, they can enter phase two. Restaurants, movie theaters and bars may be allowed to reopen with social distancing protocols. We are not opening all at once, but one careful step at a time. And some states will be able to open up sooner than others. In the case that a state is successful with phases one and two, phase three involves letting everyone come back to work and opening up larger venues. Kumasi, back over to you. Thank you, jobina.

The mayor says it isnt about punishing people, the focus is more on educating people and some seem really ready to comply. I think we need to be keeping people safe and until we really understand how the virus is spread and in order to get it under control, i think it is important, yes, for people to be Wearing Masks now. And im glad the mayor made that oclamati marin countys Health Officer said some other bay counties will be announcing today that they will start requiring Wearing Masks. They didnt name the counties.
