On Wednesday, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser issued an order stating that anyone older than two years old caught without a mask could face a fine of up to $1,000.

Bowser said at a press conference, “Basically what it says is, if you leave home, you should wear a mask. This means, if you’re waiting for a bus, you must have on a mask. If you are ordering food at a restaurant, you must have on a mask. If you’re sitting in a cubicle in an open office, you must have on a mask,” as The Hill reported.
