    Sounds Good. But, would beards count as a face covering? What about dust, or surgical masks for work, industrial respirators, welding helmets, eye/face protection, or maybe veils at weddings? I am just asking how broad is this new Law/Ordinance/Command? Where does it stop?

      If it stops right here, that would be a large improvement.
