In Brief: Business
FREEPORT Illinois driver services facilities will reinstitute a mask policy Aug. 2
The reinstitution of the policy is due to a recent increase in COVID-19 cases. Employees and customers will be required to wear masks.
One of the goals behind the policy is to allow facilities to remain open to serve the public and reduce the heavy customer volume caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expired documents will remain valid until Jan. 1, 2022.

After months of practicing human avoidance, wearing a mask whenever outside, communicating with my children, grandchildren and friends only via the computer, and grocery shopping at times reserved only for seniors, you are requiring me to report to the nearest Driver Services Facility for road and vision testing before April 2021 when I turn 82 years old.
May I suggest that my testing (and all seniors with spotless driving records) be delayed until we are vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. That should happen during this year. I don’t need to remind you about the skewed mortality rate by people my age during this pandemic.
