(21,710 posts)If necessary, I will meet them in the hall with N95s in hand and wait until they mask up properly before letting them in.
But I should not have to do that. They should have their own N95s.
One reason why the infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are rising here is that people ignore the state mask mandate for public places. There are a lot of anti vaxxers here, too. The county vaccination rate is 53%. So I am constantly dealing with people who do not take covid seriously. I have to advocate for myself.
I think that my phone call where I read off local health department statistics made the manager concerned about his own liability if an outbreak occurred. NY has good rental laws to protect renters' rights and good covid precaution rules, including a mask mandate (which many locals ignore). But the laws and rules are only as good as the enforcement of them.
