Lies over mask-wearing insult to truly exempt

-

JUST over a week ago, I was entering my local supermarke­t and a young woman, probably in her 20s, was in front of me.

The security guard asked her where her mask was and she told him she was exempt because she’d had a tracheotom­y.

Yesterday, I was at my GP practice seeing a nurse.

Sitting in the waiting area was the same young woman, wearing a mask. There was a man waiting, too, not wearing a mask, as he had had a tracheotom­y done.

So if this woman can wear a mask at the doctors, she can wear one at a supermarke­t and other retail.

It’s an insult to supermarke­t workers and customers who are genuinely exempt.
