what is the BOH and Mayor waiting for?

I am shocked to see shoppers without face masks of some sort every time I go out. What few stores I have gone to in the last few weeks, including today at Whole Foods, I counted 7 shoppers without masks or gloves. One shopper is a former Town Meeting member, at least 10 to 20 years older than I, without any protection at all.
The numbers of infected continue to rise which include 16 inmates from MCI Framingham, a number we didn't know about before. I wonder what the BOH and the Mayor are waiting for. Is there a number of dead or infected that will trigger a mandatory face mask and gloves order for any store in the Ham? Could the death of that construction worker this week been prevented if all construction was shut down like Boston did weeks ago?


 Wong said he might soon suggest similar measures be taken in Framingham to slow transmission among essential workers, though he stressed no decisions have been made.
“When we require every customer to be protected, to have face coverings, it lessens the asymptomatic transmission,” Wong said. “Think about all the grocery store workers, all the restaurant kitchen staff. If they are working from home, we wouldn’t be able to survive. They have to go into work and a lot of times they have to face customers and the public on a regular basis, and they are the ones who are getting infected.”
Wong is also considering following the lead of municipalities that have issued local orders requiring private construction sites to follow stricter rules for keeping workers at those sites safe.
“I think the way to do it is through a robust health and safety standard such as the one that the state has developed for public construction sites,” Wong said. “I think that would be the way to go. You can still continue to provide essential housing construction, but at the same time, it is being but at the same time, it is being done safely.”
