wearing masks

the debate continues

Signed an executive order strongly urging people to wear masks in public.

Sombe businesses are even requiring it.

It's something many kentuckians have already been doing, but abc 36's austin miller explains it's still an adjustment.

### the state is gradually reopening for business...with masks strongly encouraged but walking around...you'll probably notice just as many people wearing masks..

As those without them.

"it's not that difficult to put it on.

You know what i mean.

You look cool.

It's just fun."

Tyler dawson sot- trt 06 "i have masks that i plan on bringing.

I've just forgotten them at home, so once we get into the habit of it, i think it'll make it easier."

Those who wear them tell me they believe it's necessary to help keep themselves and others safe.

Not having a mask won't result in a fine or punishment..

Though.

Some say they don't think it's fair to shame anyone without a mask.

Mike deangelis sot- trt 12 "i think it's wise to wear a mask, obviously i'm not wearing one right now.

I think that says something, but i think that you have your own choice to make.

I think that's how it should be.

I don't think you should be forced to do anything that you don't want to on this."

Nat sound the choice is easy for some businesses...includi ng goodfellas pizza.

It says it has made sure workers have masks and comply with the governor's order encouraging them.

They're also asking customers to wear one.

But owner alex coats says there is one obvious challenge.

Alex coats sot- trt 11 "when they come in with a mask, how are they even going to eat when they're in our establishment?

We want everyone to make sure they're comfortable and safe, but it does pose a lot of challenges."

Even with the challenges..

Lauren keenan says she just wants people to do their part..

Lauren keenan sot- trt 03 "i just want everyone to follow the rules, so that we can get back to doing what we love."

In lexington..

Austin miller..

Abc 36.
