OCEAN CITY — New federal directives from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued last week include stringent mask requirements on all modes of conveyance, including commercial fishing vessels and other vessels that carry groups of people.
Despite waning COVID-19 positivity numbers, the Biden Administration through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued stringent mask requirements for all modes of conveyance, including commercial vessels, party boats, tour boats and, presumably, recreational sportfishing boats.
While the local commercial and recreational fishing industries are still sorting out exactly what it means for them, and their passengers and crews, the stricter mask requirement could have a significant impact on the industries as a new spring and summer season approaches.
The CDC order states “persons must wear masks over the mouth and nose when traveling on conveyances into and within the United States.” The order defines public maritime vessels, including ferries, and all forms of water-based transportation under the definitions spelled out.
Sad days.. proud Eastern Shoremen brought to their knees. We should have all stood together at the outset and refused to wear masks at all. That’s what comes of sticking your head in the sand and hoping the sky won’t fall. The more you comply, the more they up the ante DESPITE 1) numbers of infections and hospitalizations going down 2) Now have the vaccine they touted as the end of this madness 3) Numerous states with no mask mandate have fared just as well or better 4) States with worst death and infection rate are the ones who had totalitarian mask enforcement
Can’t fix stupid
The CDC order states “persons must wear masks over the mouth and nose when traveling on conveyances into and within the United States.”
