Oklahoma Lawmaker Proposes Facemask Bill

An Oklahoma lawmaker is calling for mandatory facemask wearing across the state. Democratic State Senator Jason Lowe of Oklahoma City filed the bill this week. Lowe says facemask wearing is a health-related issue and the mandate is necessary in keeping residents safe. The 'COVID-19 Save Lives Response Act' would require masks until COVID-19 hospitalizations are at or below 300 for 30 consecutive days, and failure to comply would result in a one-thousand-dollar fine.
