Ms. Nicole Benasillo, secretary: “I think after two almost three years things are getting back to a new normal everyone has the option to wear/not wear a mask and use their choice to choose whatever makes them feel comfortable and i also think that when people have this feeling when they want to wear a mask or not–and they might have to wear one whether they have gotten covid and you come back for it–depending on the rules. Everyone should respect others in their feelings/choice of whether or not they choose to wear a mask.”
