The sheriff in a central Florida COVID-19 hotspot has issued a directive prohibiting deputies, staff and visitors to department offices from wearing protective face masks, an order that came as a local mayor and city council squared off over a mask ordinance for businesses.
Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods sent an email Tuesday informing the approximately 900 people working in the department that "when you are on-duty/working as my employee and representing my Office – masks will not be worn," the Ocala Star Banner reports.
Woods added that "effective immediately, any individual walking in to any one of our lobbies (which includes the main office and all district offices) that is wearing a mask will be asked to remove it."

PO1 H Gene Lawrence Strange Indeed! You have to spend some time in Florida. I Have Kind of a Love/Hate Relationship with Florida. It is where I Became a Sailor, Where I Became a Navy Spook, Where I Received My Advanced Training. With Bendix there it is the Home of Military High Tech, Space and Intelligence but it is Also where "Others Side of the Tracks" is Still a thing about Separating Ethnic Groups with Railroad Track, Where Unfortunately the KKK is Still Very Much Alive, Where there is a "Seminary" on Every Other Corner and a "Cat House" on Every Third Corner. Truly a Land of Opposites.
