Public health and law enforcement officials are fed up with some people and businesses that have been disregarding mask orders, and they say theyâre ready to start ticketing those who canât follow the rules.
âUp to this point, law enforcement has addressed the violations on a case-by-case basis,â Jackson Chief of Police Michelle Weber said at a recent COVID-19 community update meeting. âAnd weâve used the opportunity to educate businesses, and in some circumstances customers, on the public health order.
âBecause we are not getting the compliance with some businesses in particular ⦠we are now considering issuing citations to those establishments who continue to refuse to comply with those public health orders that are in place.â
