The fight to conquer COVID continues and our masks are a big part of the conversation.
When public health officials updated the states infection stats earlier this week, they reminded us to wear our masks even when we’re outside... because the virus can be transmitted outside as we pass someone on the sidewalk or in the parking lot.
Look out for new high-tech masks that are supposed to keep us safe and comfortable… LG is debuting one that has an air purifier built in and researchers at MIT have developed a silicone face mask that can be safely sterilized and reused!
But did you know that you can get a ticket for improper use of masks in the car?! Yuuuuuuup! It is illegal in Illinois to hang your mask (or anything else) from your rearview mirror… and if you get a citation for doing that it could cost you up to $164!
Whatever you’ve got, let’s put these masks on, keep them on so we can stay safe!
