Can You Get Arrested for Not Wearing a Mask?
/New Ohio legislation would make it mandatory to wear a face covering in public places.
As reported by News 5 Cleveland, “Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish introduced legislation that would require face coverings in public spaces to limit the spread of COVID-19. The proposed ordinance states that any person found without a face mask would be subject to a written warning on the first violation and a civil penalty of $50 for a second and each subsequent violation.”
As with any new legislation, many discussions will arise as to the legality of requiring someone to wear a mask, and already some have criticized the vagueness of Cleveland’s recent face mask order.
