Who is exempt from Quebec’s mask law and why some may not be complying
Oughton says people with physical or intellectual disabilities could be exempt, for example, if an individual doesn’t have the ability to put on and take off their mask.But he says at the end of the day, it boils down to trying to change someone’s habits and a society’s culture, which isn’t always easy.Psychologist, Pierre Faubert says, there are a variety of reasons why some people are reluctant to wear a mask — some may believe that their rights are being violated, while others may believe because the virus is invisible, it’s not real.“Anything that will impede our breathing can be seen as a threat to our lives,” said Faubert.
