” Chart: The States Most & Least Likely To Wear Face Masks | Statista

With some countries feeling the worst of the coronavirus is now behind them, lockdowns are being eased, though face masks are being compulsory in certain situations. Austria, Germany and France are among the countries making masks compulsory on public transport or shopping with high rates of compliance reported in most places. Other countries have been slower to embrace face masks, particularly the United States, where the debate about their effectiveness is still ongoing.

While public health officials in the U.S. have encouraged the public to use face masks, senior politicians including the president and vice president have appeared in public without them, amplifying the debate even further. Levels of frustration and anger were brought to national attention on May 01 when a security guard was shot dead in Flint, Michigan, during an altercation with a customer who allegedly refused to wear a face mask.
