Dear Bozeman City Commission,
I am a citizen of Bozeman and a student at Montana State University. I am writing to ask that
you require mask-wearing in areas where proximity to others is likely.
The scientific consensus is clear: mask-wearing reduces the likelihood of COVID-19transmission drastically. Despite this, there has been a concerning lack of mask-wearing and
social distancing in Bozeman. For individuals at higher risk of COVID-19 and ensuingcomplications (such as myself), such preventative measures can be life-saving and allow us to
participate in the community with less risk to our health.
Please take the step to protect our community's health and require mask-wearing in Bozeman. Thank you for your time and consideration.
