In Finland, in Espoo, a ban on wearing masks in schools has been enacted. Of course, the ban includes a health-related exception, but I don't believe the exception guarantees the right to wear masks whenever it is necessary. #MaskUp #RightToMask #MaskBan #COVID19 #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne
Burkakielto voimaan Espoon kouluissa – koskee kaikkia kasvot peittäviä asusteita
Espoo on päivittänyt kouluja ja päiväkoteja koskevia turvallisuusohjeitaan. Uuden linjauksen mukaan kasvojen tulee näkyä koulupäivän aikana. Linjaus koskee myös päiväkoteja ja lukioita.

Our open letter to UK infection control leads went today.

Patients can be asked to remove their FFP2 or FFP3 mask, or swap it for a surgical one, while staff can now choose a respirator if treating a patient with respiratory symptoms.

Right to Mask bills have taken different paths across the U.S., but the conversation is far from over.

Here's where things stand:

Vermont: The Right to Mask bill remains under discussion as advocates continue building support.

Great news. Liberty in court overturns Tory
law removing the right to effective protest by classifying anything more than minor disturbance as 'serious'.

Also glad to see the #righttomask is on their radar.

Katy Watts, lawyer at Liberty, said: “We launched this legal action two years ago to ensure that governments are not able to sneak in legislation via the back door that weakens the rights of all of us. This judgment is a victory for Parliament and the rule of law. “The regulations we’ve defeated today are just one of many anti-protest laws introduced in recent years which have criminalised protesters and clamped down on the ways we can make our voices heard. It’s especially worrying that even more measures are going through Parliament, including bans on face coverings at protests that would make it unsafe for disabled activists and political dissidents to protest. “Protest is a fundamental right and the cornerstone of our democracy. It must not be undermined by Governments who want to shut down the ways we hold them to account. We hope today’s ruling makes the Government take stock and take a different direction that respects protest rights, instead of stripping them away further.”
