美国众议院道德委员会11月1日发布通知称，美国佐治亚州共和党籍众议员玛乔丽•泰勒•格林因屡次拒绝在众议院佩戴口罩，被罚款20次，累计被罚款4.8万美元。

After receiving an initial warning in May, Greene was fined $500 for her first offense, and $2,500 for each subsequent offense, which is in line with House rules. The fines come from Greene's salary.

今年5月格林首次因未佩戴口罩收到警告。按照众议院的规定，第一次的违规罚款为500美元，之后每次违规都会被罚款2500美元，罚款将直接从众议员的工资中扣除。

Mask mandates were first adopted in the House in July 2020 following Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert's positive COVID-19 test.

2020年7月，德克萨斯州共和党籍众议员路易•戈默特新冠病毒检测呈阳性后，众议院颁布"口罩令"。

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that masks will be required for members and staff on the floor of the House until they were all fully vaccinated.

众议院议长佩洛西表示，在所有议员和工作人员都完成疫苗接种之前，"口罩令"不会解除。
