BRYAN, BRAZOS CO. PASS MANDATORY MASK ORDERS
The City of Bryan and Brazos County have joined College Station in announcing the mandatory usage of masks inside businesses.
Friday, Bryan Mayor Andrew Nelson and Brazos County Judge Duane Peters signed emergency orders effective June 30th.
The orders come less than a day after the City of College Station passed similar restrictions, which go into effect Monday and continue through July 10th, requiring the use of face masks in all businesses.
The Bryan and Brazos County orders say individuals over the age of 10, whether they be employees, customers, visitors, invitees, or contractors, “shall use all reasonable efforts” to comply with the face covering and social distancing protocols of businesses. They also say everyone over the age of 10 should keep up their efforts while in public places by practicing social distancing or wearing face coverings when this is not feasible.
Face masks will not be required when eating or drinking, driving alone or with passengers of the same household, operating outdoor equipment, or engaging in physical activity outside. They will also not be required while in a building or activity that requires security surveillance or screening, such as a bank, or when doing so poses a greater mental or physical health, safety, or security risk.
At this time, no civil or criminal penalty will be imposed on individuals for failure to wear a face covering. The orders also state no penalty will be imposed on businesses who do not comply, although they do state this is subject to change.

I wish they would just make it a thing to wear the mask , weather u sweat or not you can get someone sick by NOT wearing them , and it’s also the people who AREN’T wearing mask , who think this pandemic is a game , that’s why the numbers continue to rise cause people are so inconsiderate of other people , still going to outside gatherings, all of that , what the gov. Should do is shut everything down till people learn how to LISTEN . This would overblown if the younger generation LISTENED/LISTEN . Stay home go out as need be respect others space and wear a mask SIMPLE . Bryan bryan Bryan smh , the numbers go up everyday by the hundreds because nobody is listening.
Amen thank God for this. Please to all stay safe. Only got if you’re going to work or to the stores. But please wear your mask. Let’s think of family and other families as well as ourselves. God bless us all all aroud the world…
God has nothing to do with it. Mask should really only be worn if you are positive for Covid or sick and think you may have it. Mask does nothing to prevent you from getting the virus it just helps cultivate bacteria which you breath in and then get pneumonia and then you panic and think you have Covid . Such a stupid idea to wear a mask. I could almost bet that most of the numbers are forged like other cities and counties are doing just for the Federal help and support.
Yeah. All those fake dead people around the world. All those economies and turmoil, it’s just fake news. I’m sure everything is fine. Those cities just want to bankrupt themselves I’m sure.
It does no good to put an order in place if there are no violative consequences. Entrusting folks to take personal and communal responsibility has brought us to this stage. I hate that our local govt has to parent and micromanage as much as anyone…but…where there’s a clear need., stop being the parents who only repeat, “One more time–!” to their rowdy children….that parent has zero credibility at some point…we are pert near there….
Totally agree!
I am clostervobic and after trying to wear a mask
I began to sweat heavily……now what do I do?
Stay at home.
Amen thank God for this. Please to all stay safe. Only go out if you’re going to work or to the stores. But please wear your mask. Let’s think of family and other families as well as ourselves. God bless us all all aroud the world…
I know several people that have that same issue. A mask is the best option right now for anyone leaving their house. Have you tried wearing a scarf or handkerchief? They’re not as restrictive. If those aren’t options for you then you could try to have family/friends help you with your shopping. Hope this helps, stay safe.
well technically these wont stop the virus from passing through, these are good options to satisfy the need of wearing a mask for those who panic over the site of someone not wearing a mask. Mask will not prevent you from getting the virus, should really only be worn if you are sick or already have the virus. This is what social media and any media tries to do, spread panic. I am sure the numbers that are being reported are mostly false anyways, most cities and counties in all states are doing it.
