Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) is directing all grocery stores and food markets in the city to require customers to wear face masks before entering.
The order, which Bowser released on Twitter Wednesday night and discussed during a news conference Thursday, also requires all farmers' markets in the city, including the D.C. seafood market, to apply for waivers in order to continue operations. Those waivers will only be granted to markets that provide plans for enforcing social distancing guidelines.
Customers will additionally be required to shop at least six feet apart from those not in their immediate families and will not be allowed to enter stores if they are exhibiting coronavirus symptoms.
It was unclear how many markets, including the city's historic Eastern Market, would be forced to close due to the order.
"Our grocery workers are on the front line of the response to this pandemic. All of us ... need to do everything in our power to keep them safe," Bowser said Thursday, according to NBC 4.

in other news, robberies have spiked!
What style of mask?
hoodies are optional.
What if there is theft? How do you identify robbers?
These assholes at 99 Cent store did the same thing to me this morning here in L.A. Obama security guard was all homey to wear the faggy mask so 3 blocks away I go to a bigger rival store which is 10 times bigger.
Bttt
Everything is optional until the Hitlerites make it mandatory.
And the sheep comply without a whimper.
Does that include masks that read F*** You Mayor Bowswer?
They have been whining for a month about there not being enough masks for healthcare workers, now we’re all supposed to have them?
I am glad they (finally) reversed their stance on masks, it was dumb to tell people not to wear them. Now that, hopefully, the childish stigma is gone, it will be a regular response to future outbreaks. Wearing a mask is personal responsibility and good citizenship, imho.
Armed robbers elated!
Have one, it’s in the car.
Under what authority?

Instead of whining about robbers, or denying masks work, if we all just wore masks, people wouldn’t get sick, wouldn’t spread the disease, and we wouldn’t need to lock down the country.
I would wear a mask if they would open up all retail and restaurants and salons and everything again. I would rather do that than have all of this unemployment. Oh, and I guess it would have to be just on my nose so I could eat at said restaurant.
