The following health advisory has been issued for all of Allen County Ohio:
Allen County Public Health is issuing a Mask Advisory for Allen County, effective September 17, 2021. Everyone over the age of 2 years old is advised to wear a face mask, regardless of vaccination status when:
∙ In indoor public places
∙ Outdoors in crowded settings
Universal masking in schools, businesses, and social settings will help slow the spread of COVID-19.
The Covid pandemic has brought about new challenges to the medical community and society as a whole. There have been times where we were forced to give up rights and do things we are not comfortable doing. We as Americans do not give up our rights freely and will definitely put up a fight whenever we feel our rights are being infringed. We have fights over why we would or should wear a mask. Fights over vaccines and if they should be mandated. Fights over schools and how the school year should be laid out, if the kids should wear masks, should we have full sessions, etc.
