Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson’s Statement on Mask Order
Rep. Hicks-Hudson statement on state mask mandate for Lucas
County
County falls in Level 3 of
the state's new COVID-19 alert system
State Rep. Paula
Hicks-Hudson (D-Toledo) issued a statement last week
following Gov. DeWine's executive order to require facemasks
in Lucas County. The county falls within Level 3 of the
state's new Public Health Advisory System, which was
unveiled July 2. Level 3 indicates very high exposure and
spread of coronavirus.
Several cities in Ohio have
already moved to require facemasks, including Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton.
"It is truly unfortunate
that Lucas County is now a red, Level 3 county. I personally
know of people who have died or have been hospitalized with
this virus. If you start to experience symptoms or find out
you were exposed to Covid-19, please quarantine yourself to
prevent the spread to the best of your abilities," Rep.
Hicks-Hudson said. Remember to social distance, and wear a
mask in public in order to protect each other. We must take
this virus more seriously." |
