Face mask exemption

I know this post probably seems a bit late to the party as not many work places still enforce face mask wearing but mine does.

I have worn a mask throughout covid but have recently been diagnosed with a folate deficiency which is causing me to feel breathless and light headed. I find wearing a mask difficult now because of this.

My workplace say I need to wear one still, does anyone know what health conditions were exempt from mask wearing as I can't remember.

Why? That would drive me mad

Where do you work? Is it a health care setting?

There's no doctor's note to cover mask exemption.

@user375446677 there wasn't a list of conditions which were exempt. Exemption was decided by the inability to put on, or wear, a mask due to any condition. If you can't wear one for whatever reason, you were/are exempt.

@VampiresWife thank you I wasn't sure if there was a list it all feels such a long time ago and as I didn't have any health conditions back then so I didn't pay much attention.
