• 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.

  • It has not yet. As has been pointed out, for some women it is currently illegal to both wear a mask and not wear a mask.

  • 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.
