Coffee County Mayor Gary Cordell is encouraging Coffee Countians to wear masks.
Cordell chose not to issue a mask mandate as he did not feel he had the “legal and constitutional authority to mandate the use of face masks upon our citizens.”
The release included information from the CDC’s July 14 press release about how masks have been reducing the spread.
In an editorial published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) the CDC reviewed the latest science and affirms that cloth face coverings are a critical tool to fight the spread of COVID-19 within communities and from spreading the virus from person to person.
