Parliament passes motion to ban face masks in public following robberies
Wearing face coverings in public could become outlawed following a unanimous vote by MPs to consider legislation on the issue.
A Private Member’s Motion brought by Opposition Deputy Leader and MP for George Town Central Kenneth Bryan in Parliament called for government to restrict all non-medical masks and head coverings in all public and commercial spaces, including shops and neighbourhoods.
Masks would be allowed only for health conditions and for people who used them at work, such as gardeners and construction workers, but wearing them would only be permitted in the workplace itself. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
