Saw a picture of Macron wearing a mask on the bbc and it got me thinking about the 2011 French ban on wearing veils/ face coverings in public. Will the law need to be changed?
No, you are permitted to wear a face covering for health reasons so mandating the country on health grounds seems legit. If however you were not in a place where wearing one is mandated and you were only wearing one for religious reasons, you’re breaking the ban.
There is similar in Austria as well who have made it mandatory to wear a mask in certain circumstances. Always thought it odd when I'll completely cover my face when snowboarding over there and have no issue. Though I do imagine this is really just a nuance of the law and nothing more.
