U.S. Rep. Greg Stanton of Arizona said the state should be denied federal coronavirus relief funding if it remained without an overall mask mandate.
"If this policy were to be enacted, [Gov. Doug Ducey], in an instant, would issue a statewide mask mandate. He would not want to be at a loss of federal funds," Stanton said Tuesday on KTAR News 92.3 FM's Arizona's Morning News, hours before health officials reported a record-high 12,314 COVID-19 daily cases.
The Democratic congressman said cities and counties that had mask mandates would continue to receive federal funding.
Bad-actor states and cities that refuse to enact mask mandates to prevent the rapid spread of COVID-19 should not receive money from Congress in future relief legislation, Rep. Greg Stanton said today.
One of the most effective ways for local governments to control the spread of the virus is to require residents to wear masks in public places. Research and public health data show communities with mask mandates saw drops in their transmission rates and COVID-19 cases.
