(Idaho Statesman) An Idaho woman said she dresses “like a Muslim” to dodge coronavirus mask wearing policies.
A woman who identified herself as Katie Dugger told the Lewiston City Council that she wears “a burka” in public so she doesn’t have to wear a mask, according to a video recording of the Jan. 25 meeting. The council was reviewing a public health order on “physical distancing and face coverings” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m wearing this because the only way I could go to school today is I had to act like I had on a freaking burka,” Dugger said during the meeting. “I have to cover my face like I’m a Muslim.”
At the meeting, Dugger wore a scarf around her head, but it did not cover her mouth or nose.
