Dear Mayor Merrill and the Rexburg City Council,
Please do not require businesses to require mask wearing of all employees and patrons. We are following the
mask mandate from the Idaho health department. Businesses are requiring masks and that there are people
actually wearing masks. But there is absolutely no need for a fine and/or for businesses to lose their license just
because they don’t require masks. Requiring masks with these punishments won’t help. Everyone is saying no
one is wearing mask but I serve with the community all over the city and my dad is on campus and almost
everyone is wearing a mask! We have an amazingly high amount of people wearing masks already. Mask do
not prevent COVID-19. COVID-19 bacteria is 2.5x smaller than what a medical grade mask can filter.
And there is absolutely no need for this just for not wearing a mask! It is against our constitutional rights for
the city to mandate masks and for law enforcement to fine us for not wearing a mask and for businesses to lose
their license. Just because they aren’t wearing masks! It is unbelievable what our country has come to just
because how much the media has blown it out of proportion! Please don’t make this an ordinance!
