Wis. State Agency requires employees to wear masks while Teleconferencing

A Wisconsin state agency has required employees to wear masks while teleconferencing from home, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

A July 31 email sent to employees by the state’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reportedly reminded them that Gov. Tony Evers’s (D) mask mandate went into effect the next day.

Natural Resources Secretary Preston Cole said in the email that staff has to wear masks in DNR buildings and in virtual meetings, according to the Journal Sentinel.

“Also, wear your mask, even if you are home, to participate in a virtual meeting that involves being seen — such as on Zoom or another video-conferencing platform — by non-DNR staff,” Cole reportedly wrote. “Set the safety example which shows you as a DNR public service employee care about the safety and health of others.”

The governor’s mask order requires face coverings to be worn in indoor public spaces, and does not include residencies.

It’s not about safety it’s about forced compliance

1:11 in an everyday situation it's about keeping other people safe. It's just boneheads like you who can't be told anything because stupidity makes you stubborn.

Do you wear a seatbelt 1:11? Pull the bar down on a rollercoaster? Is that just "forced compliance" too?

Wisconsin's (D) governor seeks to join the Emperor's New Clothes folly by requiring state workers, working from home, to wear masks when they teleconference. The public health benefit will be enormous since they can't infect themselves while working alone at home, and anyone looking online can see they aren't infecting themselves. It is being called GUMP for Governor's Unilateral Mask Proclamation. IOW, he can't see the Forrest for the trees!

They also said you need to wear a mask when talking on your Cell Phone so as to not infect other whom you are talking to.

So do you wear a seat belt when sitting in your living room? Idiot?

1:11 You are correct. All you idiots that want to wear a mask at home by all means do it. No one is stopping you. You’re just like the people I see driving in the car by themselves with a mask on. You all are lacking in the common sense department. Liberals I’m sure🙄

Seetbelts are forced compliance yes. As far as the bar on a roller coaster I'm not being forced onto the ride, i willingly go on it and accept that in order to keep me from a 100% chance of injury or death i pull the bar down. The masks have been scientificly proven ineffective. I am not given the choice to wear a mask I'm being forced to. Your analogy doesn't work like you think it does.

Northwest Woodsman: It really disgusts me that so many people are complying with these democrat dictates without questioning and examining the issue. If they did, they would come to the conclusion that this whole pandemic fraud is politically motivated. The victim figures have been extremely manipulated and can not be believed. I am aware of several instances where people have missed testing appointments or just gave up because the line was too long, and later, received notification that they tested positive! There are those who also have financial gain as the reason to continue this farce. I find it sad to think that there are people so indoctrinated and manipulated that they probably wear an ineffective mask even in bed at night in their own homes. Here, let me add to their paranoia, you wear a mask and gloves everywhere but walk on sidewalks, streets and parking lots where people spit and then you contaminate you’re vehicle and your home every time you enter unless you go through a comprehensive decontamination process every time you go out.
