Connecticut to fine people who don't wear masks

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) said Monday that the state will impose fines on people who do not adhere to the state’s mask mandate and limits on event capacity.

Under a new executive order issued from Lamont, residents will be required to pay $100 fines for not wearing masks, up to $250 for going to large unauthorized events and up to $500 for planning unauthorized events, according to the Hartford Courant.

Under present rules, events are limited to 25 people indoors and 100 people outdoors.

Connecticut Chief Operating Officer Josh Geballe said the order is set to take effect Thursday at midnight. He told the newspaper the state has struggled with how to enforce the mandates.

A lot of fine people from Connecticut don't wear masks or underwear. We only hope though that they bath often. There's not a lot left of the DNC except for that.

You people are so weird. You really have no idea how many freedoms you have lost in the last 60 years. Why do you think this is a free country still?

NYC was supposed to do the same thing. I have heard of no one getting fined or even stopped I've been there 7 times in the past 3 months and hardly anyone is wearing a mask on the streets. They have them hanging around their necks or hanging off their ear. Even indoor public places more are wearing them but most have nose showing and pull them down to talk.
