As Petrolia councillors prepare to talk about a mandatory mask bylaw, we ask; are you in favour?

August 6, 2020

Petrolia councillors will take up the issue of mandatory masks to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. The town has completed a survey online to see what people think. The Independent went out on the street to ask Petrolians if they’re in support of the idea.

George Hammond says a mandatory mask bylaw is a good idea “to help seniors who are more susceptible. I see too many people without them, especially at the grocery store.”
