Ohio Lawmaker won't Wear Mask Over Religious Beliefs 🦠

Republican Ohio State Representative Nino Vitale said on Facebook that despite the risk of community spread coronavirus, he would not wear a face mask because covering the face would hide the image of God. On his Facebook page, Vitale said he would defy the requests of his state's government's on religious ground. He wrote, "This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles. One of those principles as that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our face. I will not wear a mask.”
