Rather than imposing a fine on household, I think one way our city Council can show commitment to enhancing health equity is by identifying one area for immediate and wide reaching impact. And that is the call upon retailers to identify that they are enhancing truly impactful measures and where correction is helpful. Two that I can think of:
Ensuring keypads are sanitized regularly. In my experience, businesses have become lax with this.
Improve indoor air quality through increased filtration, especially HEPA filters. Large retailers can of course afford to implement advanced filtration technologies because they have a financial incentive to protect both their employees and customers. Perhaps we can have a rebate program for small businesses who implement upgrades. Particularly in restrooms to reduce exposure to toilet-borne droplets. Is this already happening? Please tell me it is.
Many have compared the efficacy of cloth masks with bacteria and viruses to the efficacy of masks with smoke smells. Meaning potentially quite little protection. Meanwhile, proper filtration systems are quite effective at removing smoke, bacteria, viruses and other pollutants from environments and improving air quality. Just a thought. Does this make sense?

VOTE NO to this. This measure is not upholding our Constitutional Freedoms.
