Closed Ban full face coverings in public places

Closed on

Recently the Swiss government has banned the wearing of full face coverings & coverings where only the eyes can be seen after a referendum. In 2019 the Tunisian and Sri Lankan governments banned them for security reasons. Suspected terrorists can't be identified. We should too.

These are not to be confused with covid masks. There are other benefits. Banning of such garments could also reduce the risk of mental health issues of poor self esteem. Such garments can also put individual at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency and rickets. We should follow suit.
