As Covid-19 cases rise in 17 states, Americans still divided on whether masks should be mandated (cnn.com)
(CNN)As more places across the US offer people a chance to shop or dine inside, the issue of whether to wear a mask has again become a flashpoint.
There are 17 states where the number of coronavirus cases are trending up, and many governors have told citizens that now is an important time to wear a face covering.
Virginia on Tuesday became the latest state to compel people to wear masks in certain situations. The rule applies to anyone 10 years of age or older within a public indoor space, Gov. Ralph Northam said. Masks will be required on public transportation, the governor said.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing a cloth face covering in public when it is hard to stay socially distant.
