It's now mandatory: Getting groceries? Wear a mask

First we were told it wasn't necessary.

Then it became a suggestion, albeit a strong one.

It started with the governor. Eventually Delaware County Council chimed in, adding their voices to the effort.

It's no longer a suggestion.

On Wednesday, Gov. Tom Wolf and his Secretary of Health Rachel Levine made it mandatory. If you are venturing into a store, you must wear a mask or some other type of face covering. That means you won't be able to enter Commonwealth grocery stores without a mask.

This is not necessarily to protect you, but instead to protect others, specifically those crucial workers who are stocking the shelves and checkout counters, putting themselves in harm's way as they come in contact with the public each day.

Same goes for those trips to the pharmacy.
