041720

SAN ANTONIO — Following in the lead of Austin and Dallas County, San Antonio is now mandating that all residents 10 years of age and older wear a cloth face covering in public setting, as part of the latest efforts to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

The city says that while bandannas, handkerchiefs and scarfs can be used to cover one’s face, “it is strongly recommended” that residents don’t purchase hospital-grade masks that are vital for healthcare workers and first responders.
