Depending on context (should the govt demand a private business enforces a mask mandate? No - but should the business have their [i]own[/i] mandate? Probably a good idea to anyway).
But only if we can divorce a temporary mask wearing order from the sense of intolerable self-righteous smugness with which some people enjoy enforcing it.
It may be for sound public health reasons, but the current plague has empowered whole batallions of fluorescent-tabard-wearing minihitlers. They are enough to make me want to cough over everyone.

@Persephonee People who get infected in private businesses and then sick as a result of it will still affect the (public) community, hence masks are reasonably enforced also there.
A significant number of people don't want to get an avoidable risk because of someone who's too inconvenienced by having to wear a piece of cloth in front of their mouth, so you can bet there'll be hostility towards these subjects.

@Elessar it's not the hostility I object to actually, as you're completely right. It's the smugness!
