For businesses and other entities if you don't have your employees masked you can face a fine or 6 months in jail!
What a load of crap, 6 months. Should be 1 day or something, 6 months, what is this Nazi Germany.

Meh, going to achieve nothing with this. May as well invite everyone to stadiums and have hug festivals with free booze.

Going to spike to the heavens after the festivities, hard lockdown back from Feb.

The solution is to wear a mask.

The Nazi's punished Jews, Gypsies etc....

People that don't wear masks are punishing EVERYONE

Sure, but 6 months is insane.
I'm sure it's unconstitutional anyway.
It's a fine or six months. I assume it will normally be a fine and serial offenders will be dealt with harsher. Considering that an asymptomatic person can infect many other people, I'd argue that public facing staff not wearing a mask is a serious offence (since death isn't nice). As the employer you can suspend or fire these staff, problem solved.
