From The City of Angels, this is Daniel.
As history is unfolding before our eyes. We still have to live our local lives.
Last week I shared with you a new guidance from the city of wearing non-medical face masks in public:
Starting tonight at midnight it will be required in Los Angeles to wear face masks. This will be required for both shoppers and many non-medical essential employees, including at grocery stores.
It's important to note that the Mayor said that Workers in grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, hotels, taxis, rideshare vehicles, and construction sites, among other non-medical essential businesses, will have to start wearing face masks as well.
These employers are required to provide face masks to employees or reimburse those employees for purchasing their own. They will be required to enforce social distancing for both the public and employees, and provide clean restrooms to their employees and allow those employees to wash their hands every 30 minutes.

I've already been living in reality. My grandmother made me a mask. And earlier this week I went to the store to get some food wearing it and gloves.
