No. People should be free to believe what they want. But if democracy as a whole makes decissions regarding what is necessary to do in certain situations (for instance public transport, supermarkets etc.) then you should not be allowed in, if you do not want to follow the decissions of the democratically elected.

@MarineBob I disagree with that. The reason is we cannot expect store owners to have public health as a core interest. They need to make money to continue existing. Also they are not medical professionals.
If you allow store owners to make that decission, you are also giving them the burden of deciding between more customers or healthier customers. And when in competition you might end up being forced to say "No masks needed" or else someone who is willing to do just that might destroy you in the market place.
I think it is a disservice to the shops to ask that they decide this.
* I am not entirely sure I personally agree that masks are as effective as they are set out to be, so I don't know if it's sane to demand they are worn - I'll leave that to medical professionals to advice the politicians on.
