Oak Brook issues order requiring residents to wear face masks in public
Oak Brook Village President Gopal Lalmalani issued an executive order Wednesday, requiring individuals to wear a face covering when in a public place.
The order takes effect Friday. Residents and visitors over the age of two must cover their nose and mouth with a mask or cloth face covering to prevent the spread of COVID-19, according to the new order.
Those who cannot medically tolerate a face covering are exempt from the rule.
"Oak Brook's masking requirement does not apply to people who are out walking or jogging for exercise, driving alone in their cars or in their yards with members of their own household," Lalmalani said. "Each business that is open must either supply or require their employees to wear face coverings when dealing with the public. Individuals out in the public must maintain social distancing guidelines and continue with frequent hand washing."

Given half my family came from ND & WY on the way over from Viking land... I can say without insulting anyone that people there ALREADY practice SIP.... it is not very population dense and who goes out and hugs in the middle of a blizzard?
