Watertown orders mask wearing in all indoor public spaces starting tomorrow
By adamg on Tue, 12/21/2021 - 12:40pm
The Watertown Board of Health has decreed "requiring face coverings for all persons at all times when inside public spaces or private spaces open to the public," effective at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday.
The only people permitted to take off their masks indoors are people sitting down to eat or drink in a restaurant and performers who are at least 25 feet away from the nearest patron.
This mandate applies to individuals aged 5 years and over except where an individual is unable to wear a face covering due to a medical condition or disability. If a customer refuses to wear a mask or cloth face covering for non-medical reasons, a business may decline entry to the individual

Too Transmissible
This variant is too transmission even for seated dining. I don't see how this will help.
Most of us never stopped...
There have been a few idiots at Target and Stop-n-Shop, but most everyone just masks up indoors and doesn't bother outdoors.
Shit just got real
Medford reinstated the mask requirement too.
Luckily the inaguration
Luckily the inaguration dinner is not in Watertown.
Absolutely disingenuous
to make such a statement, considering that the City of Boston has had a similar indoor mask mandate in effect since late August.
Yes, but what
are all those developers and strategists like the Liberty Square Group that ponied up 25k for a table going to do now if the inauguration gala gets cancelled?
Get their money back?
Aren't they getting their
Aren't they getting their money back, with some change, anyway? The question is why they get to party when so many people are suffering?
No.
If there's one thing about Mayor Wu is that she's smart enough to take their money in tribute and they'll be lucky if she deigns to pay them any attention.
Whereas Annissa and Doug would have already sold off half the projects in Dorchestah.
huh?
I'm not going to debate the optics of any celebration right now but you are implying that other people aren't allowed to party right now because human suffering is occuring, which is not a reality I am aware of here. Convince me you are making an argument in good faith.
Save yourself the trouble.
It isn't.
Other people? Other people
Other people? Other people can party to their heart's content. I just don't like the city officials partying on lobbyists dime, during these times.
