wearing face mask there is a very angry response to that ban which came into force at midnight last night as there has been though a degree of trepidation today people here really don't know how this ban is going to play out and how it is going to be enforced by police as a result it appears that both sides both protesters have been police are almost waiting for the other one to to move to 2 to see what happens next we're getting the sense of a lot of people that we're talking to today that they are planning on savings the managing for big protests that are planned over the coming days on sunday and then monday as well which is another national holiday meaning more people will be off work we're expecting big protests there and i think then that will we will see masses of people back on the streets potentially defying the face mossbank article you mentioned that even today you're seeing people continuing to wear the face masks in defiance of this ban. have you seen any arrests so far i mean if so
