The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has released new recommendations for grocery stores and retailers on encouraging mask wearing among customers, after some businesses reported employees were uncomfortable enforcing state guidance.
Gov. Chris Sununu enacted a statewide mask ordinance in November, as a way of fighting the spread of COVID-19, but that order didn’t specify explicit consequences for those who refused to wear one. Earlier guidance required all staff and customers in retail environments to wear a mask.
Now, at least when it comes to grocery and retail stores, the New Hampshire Department of Justice recommends calling local law enforcement if a customer refuses to wear a mask without a reason listed as an exception in the emergency order.
