The Hamilton County Health Department has filed a lawsuit against Ed’s Supply Company in Chattanooga, claiming the business isn’t complying with a mask mandate put into place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Associated Press reports. The suit alleges that, after multiple warnings, customers and employees are still not wearing masks or social distancing. The complaint asks a judge to order the business to close if it does not comply with the mandate. The Aug. 28 filing claims workers at the business believed the masks were ineffective  cited “their installation and use of UV ultraviolet light systems within their facility’s air conditioning system to assist with disinfection” against COVID-19.
