If mask work, why can't we use them and go back to work? If they don't work, why are we forced to wear them?

Joe, masks aren't a 100% guaranteed solution but they help. Even when wearing masks, gloves and eye protection, people still have a difficult time keeping 6 feet apart from one another.

Governor Baker signed an executive order today requiring members of the public to wear a face covering while in public. The order goes into place on Wednesday, May 6 and The Department of Public Health, local boards of health will enforce the measure, with help from local and state police. Anyone violating the order can face a civil penalty of up to $300 per violation, the order says.
