YarmouthFace Masks required for essential employees and highly recommended for consumers as of April 28.

Over the weekend, Baker suggested that masks and face-coverings would still be part of everyday life after he is able to begin easing intense restrictions on the economy.

"I certainly believe that, whatever the rules of the road look like for reopening, masks and face coverings are going to be a big part of it," he said Saturday.

Wearing masks in public is quickly becoming a way of life, but what about the people who can't afford them?
