Why doesn’t anyone abide by the state wide mandate of mask wearing and social distancing? Unbelievable amount of people without masks in this store

America's a free country we have a first amendment we have a constitution everybody can do whatever they want So for example if you want to wear mask you can do it the mask mandate as far as I recall was for 14 days the lock down as well

Mandate= an official order or commission to do something. Everyone within New York State is mandated to wear a mask. Mandate= mandatory

It's only a mandate not the law
