Law enforcement *will not be involved* in the enforcement of this directive. This directive is not a punitive measure. It's designed to educate, encourage, and persuade individuals to wear face coverings.
This is, of course, an ever-changing situation. We will evaluate if additional steps need to be taken if there is wide-scale non-compliance. However, we also know that many members of the community experience fear when wearing a mask.
Wearing a mask makes some feel vulnerable to bias. Discrimination and hatred must be called out in all situations – at all times – but right now, it is particularly egregious that people could feel open to racial profiling as they follow public health requirements.
This directive is not a new license to harass and intimidate our neighbors who aren’t wearing a cloth face covering. We won’t stand for it. https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/health/communicable-diseases/disease-control/novel-coronavirus/~/media/depts/health/communicable-diseases/documents/coronavirus-and-stigma.ashx …pic.twitter.com/h4XrDw11fS
