New Restrictions

👆 This!

As I predicted, we did indeed get some new restrictions, this time at the state level, starting at the end of this week: 

1. Masks are now required to be worn at all times when indoors with people from outside your household, even when social distancing is also possible. (I just heard an interview with our county commissioner today where she explained that many transmissions were between people having meetings in conference rooms where they were "appropriately" spaced 6' apart, but indoors, maskless, in a room with the door shut - what did they think would happen?!)
2. When you enter the state, you must either quarantine for 14 days or provide a negative COVID test from the past 72 hours. (This is not applicable to people who work out of state or travel out of state for medical treatments.)

This is all great, but who is going to enforce this? Will people be at the borders to check for COVID test results? Will they be patrolling homes to make sure people are wearing masks if they don't live there?

The Secretary of Health also said there are no plans to go back to our earlier red/yellow/green phases that they were using at the beginning of the pandemic.
