Laredo, Texas – New Face Cover Mandate
The city of Laredo, Texas has issued a new mandate requiring anyone entering a building that is not their home to wear a face cover. This mandate includes those traveling through Laredo. Face covers do not have to be an actual face mask, as a scarf, bandana, or any type of fabric will be allowed. For truckers and other travelers, face covers must be worn when pumping fuel, going into a truck stop, picking up food, or being at a shipper/receiver.
Anyone, including truckers traveling through the city, who are found in violation of this mandate can be fined up to $1,000. We have already received notice of a driver receiving a $500 fine. This could become a new movement amongst other cities and states. Motor carriers and truck drivers need to stay current with mandates in the states and cities they travel.
