Peas in Red States

Not in North Dakota, just individual towns have mandates.

We have a Republican Governor. He refused to mandate. For a long time he wouldn't let local governments do it either.

Finally he said municipalities could decide for themselves and almost immediately, every city but two in our major metro created a mandate, with those two crowing about how they valued freedom. Immediately thereafter, the county Board of Supervisors made it Countywide, to include those two cities.

In the rest of the state, it mostly varies city by city. Tucson requires it while Prescott does not.

Good luck Governor, but I've seen the outrage over masks. This is going to be a shit show.

I don’t know if it was WV or the county that tried the mandate. I think county.

Masks are probably worn by 45 % of the county population. They aren’t worn properly by at least 15% of the wearers. In addition, the adjoining state mandates mask wearing and those citizens who refuse to wear them in their home county come to our county for necessities. Both of these counties are a hotbed of COVID at this point.

Not a red state, but a red county and yes the state mandates them but the county refuses to enforce

Texas here. Our governor did issue a mask order, but not until early July. Definitely should have been done a lot early. There is no real penalty and just left up to businesses to enforce. I still see people out and about without masks. I’m thankful for the order because it’s allowed us to enforce mask wearing in schools.

Yes, but there are plenty of maskholes who refuse to wear them.

I’m technically in a blue state (Minnesota) but there are many red areas. We do have a mask mandate but when traveling for work I notice a difference in compliance based on what town j am in.

We have a Democratic governor and many of the republicans are upset with him over the shut down and masks. Our cases are really out of control right now. I have been wondering if he Will put in more restrictions but am dreading that—not just because of the restrictions themselves but because of the response.

This is very dependent on where your at. More urban areas are doing a good job. The more rural areas have little compliance. And no one is enforcing it.

I'm in a blue state with a Republican Governor. Baker has a mask mandate in place, and I see pretty much 100% compliance. Only a few whiners here. There's only a fine for not wearing one on public transportation -- $300. Most towns have had one in place since early on, and people got used to them quickly. I think part of it is that it hit so hard early on -- when it was all very scary and new and before the freedom fighters had a chance to take hold. We were all trying anything we could in order to reduce the numbers, and it worked. Our numbers are creeping up again, probably due to all the college students returning and people going indoors more with the weather. Baker tightened us up, going back a level the other day.

I'm in a blue state with a republican governor. He mandated masks early and I've seen compliance. He just went stricter this weekend (we're in a state of emergency, again)....masks 100% of the time, even out side, even when you can socially distant. If someone refuses to wear a mask, the proprietor can refuse entry into the establishment. AND it's $300 per violation. I haven't been out and about other than to 'needed' places (grocery store, pharmacy, etc) and I've seen compliance all along. Only once, in a grocery store did I see someone not wearing a mask. Now if we could please define wearing a mask as covering BOTH your nose AND your mouth, that would be helpful.

My county recently extended a mask ordinance. I don’t believe we have a statewide order. 

Indiana here. Yes we have a mask mandate and have had for several months. Our governor just extended it to the end of December. We had really low numbers over the summer but they have skyrocketed in recent weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if Holcomb starts adding back restrictions soon.
