Commenting on the story: SA businesses warned not to discriminate against people with mask exemptions
What needs to be acknowledged in these circumstances is the grey area of confidentiality. Working in retail where surgical masks are provided for those who haven’t brought one with them, we’re obliged to remind patrons to take one.
I’ve been told by people they have exemptions, but when I ask politely to see evidence of that they say they’d rather not show me for confidentiality reasons. So then what happens? Are they wanting to retain their privacy or are they just blatantly lying? In most instances likely the latter, but we’re powerless to stop it and the business is at risk of being fined should SAPOL walk through the door.
Exemptions for wearing masks are all well and good, but businesses should be able to refuse entry should they not produce the evidence. People who have an exemption have no right to complain if it’s the case they’re not cooperating. – Katina Vanopoulos
