Some residents in Campbell County are voicing their anger over the state's new mask mandate and other health orders.
Campbell County commissioners held a special meeting on Thursday to discuss Gov. Mark Gordon's recent updates to health restrictions, including a statewide mask order.
At least 10 people said that the mask requirement violates their personal freedom.
Many were also concerned about the impacts the pandemic has had on businesses and potential enforcement of the orders. They also questioned the science behind the effectiveness of mask usage.
Campbell County Republican Party Chair Vicki Kissak, who said she was speaking as a private citizen, spoke out against the mandate.
