House Speaker Pelosi announces from the chair the new House chamber mask wearing requirement during COVID-19 pandemic: "Members and staff will be required to wear masks at all times in the Hall of the House except that members may remove their masks temporarily when recognized." 
Pelosi: "The chair expects all members and staff to adhere to this requirement as a sign of respect to the health, safety, and well being of others present in the chamber and surrounding areas."
Speaker Pelosi: "The chair would further inform members and staff that they will not be permitted to enter the Hall of the House without wearing a mask. Masks will be available at the entry points for any member who forgets to bring one."
Pelosi: "The chair would also like to remind members that the Speaker has the authority to direct the Sergeant At Arms to remove a member from the floor as a matter of decorum. To reiterate, the chair views the failure to wear a mask as a serious breach of decorum."
Pelosi: "As always, the chair appreciates the cooperation of members and staff in preserving order and decorum in the chamber and displaying respect and safety for one another by wearing a mask."
