@arindube The law was not against the hijab but rather the burqa Apparently there is a clause in the law that allows for some derogations, including for health reasons huffingtonpost.fr/entry/deconfinement-le-port-du-masque-est-il-compatible-avec-la-loi-anti-burqa_fr_5ebbcc33c5b6917714d6ca18

@arindube Also, the mask mandate wasn’t decided by law but by a décret (a sort of toned down executive order). For what I understand, the 2010 law allowed for a décret to state exceptions (a law always supersedes a décret in the French legal system). legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000042105897&categorieLien=id
