Ban on face coverings

1 Anyone who masks his face at a public demonstration, event or gathering of people shall be punished by a fine.

2 The police may grant exceptions if respectable reasons justify masking the face. Fasnacht and other traditional events are not covered by the ban on masking.

3 The police may refrain from enforcing the ban in individual cases if this is necessary to prevent escalation.
