Under the Mayor’s Stay Home, Mask and Otherwise Stay Safe Orders, businesses will not face a penalty if the person without a mask is, “is at a greater mental or physical health, safety or security risk, such as anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the cover without assistance.”
The order explained that the exception is if wearing a face covering poses a greater risk due to a medical condition.
“Businesses can consult the Americans with Disabilities Act for further direction as to whether they can prohibit the entrance of a person/employee based on their refusal to wear a mask,” said a spokesperson with the City of Austin.
Commentary: WHAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE THOUGH IS THAT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE SAYING CONSULT ADA – So either the Government doesn’t know what it is saying or THEY ARE AFRAID THIS EXEMPTION WILL BE USED. So is the Phoenix State Government lying? Is spokesperson for the city of Austin lying, or ADA is LYING or MISLEADING US. It would not be the first time!

Commentary: INSERT CALL INTO THEIR AGENCY HERE REGARDING THE FLYER
YOU DECIDE YOURSELF: HERE is a “FLYER” Not Endorsed By ADA but at the Same time two separate governments endorsed regarding exemptions: I plan to personally print out wallet sized cards that are not “flyers” talking about my exemption rights.
