Recently, the Board of Health of the City of Nashua NH recommended that the Board of Aldermen approve a new ordinance. This ordinance, a reaction to the Covid-19 virus, is named Nashua Ordinance O-20-18, "Relative to Face Coverings." The ordinance may be viewed at https://www.nashuanh.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/6403
Let me begin by saying that if someone wants to wear a mask because they feel that it would protect themselves from others, I’m fine with it. If someone wants to wear a mask to protect others from themselves, I approve. These are their personal choices.
As “guidance”, the ordinance contains several good ideas. But as a legally enforceable ordinance (obey or pay a fine, or possibly be brought to court), the ordinance fails. There are far too many deficiencies that act as anti-business measures, and others that cause unnecessary confusion.
