(Natural News) Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has threatened to fine local officials and businesses $1,000 for requiring people to wear face masks. His threat came by means of a July 29 executive order that also penalized local officials for enforcing various Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) protocols. Abbott said the new order would “provide clarity and uniformity” in Texas’s continued fight against COVID-19.
Abbot’s July 29 order said: “No governmental entity — including a county, city, school district and public health authority — and no government official may require any person to wear a face covering, or to mandate that another person wear a face covering.” Any government entity or official who attempts to impose mask mandates will be subjected to a fine of up to $1,000, the order continued.
The executive order superseded “any face-covering requirement imposed by any local governmental entity or official.” However, Abbot’s order provided exceptions for medical and correctional facilities and allowed them to “continue to use appropriate policies regarding the wearing of face coverings.”
Abbott’s executive order also indicated that there will no longer be operating limits related to COVID-19 imposed on any business establishment. The rule ensured “the ability of Texans to preserve livelihoods while protecting lives.” Instead, the order called on Texans to follow “safe practices they have already mastered” – such as maintaining a distance of six feet from others and voluntarily wearing masks if social distancing was impossible.
In a July 29 press release announcing the executive order, Abbott said his new ruling “emphasizes that the path forward relies on personal responsibility rather than government mandates.” He continued: “Texans have mastered the safe practices that help to prevent and avoid the spread of COVID-19. They have the individual right and responsibility to decide for themselves and their children whether they will wear masks, open their businesses and engage in leisure activities.” (Related: Texas Gov. Abbott ENDS statewide mask mandate and lifts all restrictions on businesses.)
Texas based its COVID-19 response on personal responsibility
The July 29 executive order from Abbott followed his May 18 mandate that prohibited local governments and school districts from issuing mask mandates. Abbott wrote on Twitter: “The time for government mask mandates is over – now is the time for personal responsibility. Every Texan has the right to choose whether they will wear a masks or have their children wear masks.”
