According to an article from WTFFlorida, St. Johns Board of County Commissioners decided to settle the issue of whether masks should be mandated in the county. Furthermore, one of the motions would’ve mandated masks for county employees.
However, the motion had failed by a count of 3-2. Commissioner Paul Waldron, who represented District 3 that covers the southern half of St. Johns County, voted against this motion.
Currently, the United States has the highest number of coronavirus infections in the world. Florida has become one of the COVID-19 hotspots in the country with thousands of cases documented everyday.
Experts believe that this is mostly due to politicians and residents refusing to do the minimum required health protocol – wearing masks. Because of this, the virus has spiked in the US and had risen to over 3,291,786.
Of this number, more than 136,671 have succumbed to the deadly disease. Meanwhile, over 1,460,495 have recovered from the virus.
