"Locals and visitors could face steep penalties for failing to comply with face-covering requirements in a mountain town nestled in central Colorado.
In a recent public push, Aspen is hoping to remind visitors and residents that wearing a mask in town is expected at all times when six feet of social distancing can not be maintained. Maskless violators could be fined $50 for the first offense, $250 for the second, and a mandatory court appearance, and $2,650 and/or a prison term of up to one year for all subsequent violations.
The rule applies to those on the trails and sidewalks, grocery shoppers, and those riding on public transportation.
Aspen is changing its message and saying that wearing a mask at all times is expected while in town. bit.ly/31a37N2
