The law allows people to wear medical or surgical-grade masks in public to prevent the spread of illness. Law enforcement and property owners can ask people to temporarily remove those masks to verify their identity.

Am I missing something, it looks like this law allows medical masks.

The problem is that law enforcement doesn’t do nuance like that. You know full well they will tear masks right off of disabled/immunocompromised people’s faces (probably wrecking the mask forever) and point to the law as an excuse.

There’s no good reason to ban masks in general. The Healthcare CEO shooter wore a mask during the crime but the police still caught him.

Ah yes, certainly this will never ever be abused by law enforcement ever.
