Some people can't wear masks

Wearing a mask is recommended to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but there are people who cannot wear a mask due to disability or illness.
If you see someone not wearing a mask, first imagine that there may be something wrong. Knowing that there are people who cannot wear masks, we ask for your understanding of their characteristics and circumstances.
