Boston city leaders recently urged people to wear masks indoors again as COVID cases continue to increase, saying the mask advisory is proactive as they try to reduce potential strain on the city's hospitals.
Jon Hurst said in a statement: “With very high rates of vaccinations in MA, and nearly 2 1/2 years into what is really now an endemic vs pandemic situation--government needs to be cautious about economically counterproductive messaging to consumers, tourists, and employees. Boston is struggling on return to offices vs other major cities, and that is hurting the viability of countless small businesses.
Dr. Ojikutu countered, saying, “Reasonable options that are not meant to inhibit or do anything negative to small businesses or large businesses in Boston. If anything we want people to go out and enjoy Boston in the summertime." The Boston Public Health Commission says it wants to avoid a mask mandate, but they will need to reconsider if cases get really high and continue at that level.Despite the recommendation by health leaders to wear masks indoors, many residents and visitors of Boston are opting out on wearing masks. And there isn't only one reason why.
