Laredo appears to be one of the first US cities to mandate people cover their nose, mouth; $1K fines
Although many Laredoans immediately condemned the idea, starting Thursday they will have to wear something that covers their nose and mouth if they enter any building that is not their house, such as H-E-B, gas stations and even their place of work.
Mayor Pete Saenz said Wednesday at a virtual press briefing that they are still working out a couple kinks of this mandate, which was ordered by City Council at their Tuesday night virtual meeting; For instance, if broadcast journalists will have to wear masks while on air, or if customers at the bank should approach a teller with a mask on.
“People that enter their lobbies with a mask obviously present an awkward, delicate situation, especially at a financial institution,” Saenz said. “So we’re trying to go through those scenarios and see if we can carve out some common sense approaches to it.”

Laredo appears to be one of the first cities to adopt this kind of regulation. Health officials in Riverside County, California, west of Los Angeles, have recommended people cover their noses and mouths while in public.
However, this is a recommendation; the City of Laredo is ordering that people take this precaution, or else face a fine of up to $1,000.

I didn't realize it was just a mask to cover his face! 
Seriously, good job!
