Army Commander Mandates Masks Indoors Again
An Army commander recently decided to mandate wearing masks indoors for service members and civilians under his command, citing the delta variant of the coronavirus and breakthrough cases of infection among those vaccinated.
Maj. Gen. Dennis LeMaster, commanding general of the U.S Army Medical Center of Excellence (MEDCoE) at Fort Sam Houston in Texas announced on social media accounts that he has mandated mask-wearing indoors beginning Sunday. . .
It’s all about readiness. While local #COVID19 cases increase I have, once again, mandated mask wear indoors. Wear your masks and #GetTheShot. It’s all about protecting each other and #Soldier readiness! @TRADOC @PaulFunk2 @medcoe https://t.co/aFVMgs67nm

A MEDCoE Facebook page post said the mandate applies to “all MEDCoE Personnel (Soldiers and Civilians).” It added:
This is a return to our posture before we unmasked. Same exceptions apply: if you’re in your office alone, you don’t need to mask. Why? We know masking works in preventing the spread of COVID. Vaccination also offers protection against COVID and its variants. Fully vaccinated personnel who get COVID tend to have more mild symptoms than those who are unvaccinated. Approximately 99% of recent COVID deaths are in the unvaccinated.
