Under these new rules, people can now travel 60 miles from home, and some businesses and schools can reopen. However, bars and restaurants — which have been closed on March 17 — remain shuttered. Those using public transport, entering certain shops, or attending schools must now wear a mask, <a href="https://www.gouvernement.fr/info-coronavirus/strategie-de-deconfinement">the government said</a>.<div type="image" title="Hind, a Niqab veiled woman (L) and real estate magnate Rachid Nekkaz (R) who supports Muslim women fined for wearing the burka or niqab on the street walk in front of the French National Assembly during a symbolic protest against France's ban on wearing full-face niqab veils in public, on April 20, 2011 in Paris. French officials estimate that only around 2,000 women, from a total Muslim population estimated at between four and six million, wear niqabs, which are traditional in parts of Arabia and South Asia.

Those in favor of the bill protected gender equality and women's dignity, and encouraged assimilation into secular French culture. Critics saw it as an attack on religious freedom.Flouting the law can result in a 150-euro ($162) fine and/or participation in so-called French citizenship education. The 2010 law states, however, that face coverings are permitted "if it is justified for health reasons."When asked whether the new coronavirus face mask regulations affected the 2010 law, France's interior ministry <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/france-face-masks-coronavirus/2020/05/09/6fbd50fc-8ae6-11ea-80df-d24b35a568ae_story.html">told The Washington Post</a>: "Wearing a mask intended to prevent any risk of contagion by COVID-19 does not constitute a criminal offense."But some Muslims and human rights advocates reacted with a mixture of anger and irony to the new rule."Even in the face of global pandemic France won't admit its bigoted burqa ban is wrong," Qasim Rashid, a Muslim candidate for Congress in Virginia's first district, <a href="https://twitter.com/QasimRashid/status/1259571491487842305">tweeted</a> on Sunday. <div type="image" title="social distancing tram france" height="750" width="1500" msid="75675449" hostid="261"></div>Fatima Khemilat, a fellow at the Political <keyword id="41551" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="science">Science</keyword> Institute of Aix-en-Provence, told The Post: "If you are Muslim and you hide your face for religious reasons, you are liable to a fine and a citizenship course where you will be taught what it is to be 'a good citizen.'""But if you are a non-Muslim citizen in the pandemic, you are encouraged and forced as a 'good citizen' to adopt 'barrier gestures' to protect the national community."Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, <a href="https://twitter.com/KenRoth/status/1259727061977051137?s=20">tweeted</a>: "Can the Islamophobia be any more transparent? The French government mandates masks but still bans the burqa."Years earlier, in 2004, France had also banned people from wearing headscarves in schools.
