A buisness has every right to deny a person from entering their establishment if they do not have on the appropriate protection on during a pandemic. Wearing a mask not only puts other peoples lives at risk, but also your life. Laws have been enforced where masks are permitted to be worn when in public or surrounded by groups of people. if you are caught not wearing a mask, you will get find and possibly arrested. Businesses have every right to kick you out of their establish because they are only trying to protect civilians from the horrifying virus. In press conferences and news releases, the mayor has said that people are required to wear a mask or face covering in certain situations - including employees, customers, and visitors of hotels, grocery stores and other retail food sellers and taxis, ride-sharing companies, or private transportation providers. But the text of the order itself states that hotels and stores must simply post signage instructing guests and customers to wear masks or mouth coverings. That discrepancy has opened the door for confusion about how people should comply. Store owners must post the signage, but are they required to refuse entry to customers without masks? And what are the consequences if individuals don't wear masks to a store?

Lindsay Wiley, director of the Health Law and Policy Program at American University Washington College of Law, says that while the signage is mandatory, it's essentially up to the businesses to determine how it will be enforced. While the mayor is telling individuals to wear masks, she isn't mandating that in the order itself such an order would be susceptible to constitutional rights challenges, according to Wiley.
