Are you worried about those who refuse to wear a mask? We have some tips -- but also keep in mind they may not be able to wear one because of a disability. 1. Set an example 2. Cite a rule/policy 3. Establish ground rules ahead of time
You can’t exactly force friends, neighbors or strangers to wear a face covering to slow the spread of coronavirus, but experts prescribe a few approaches to help nudge them in the right direction — and keep yourself safe.
But viral incidents of mask resistance have cropped up around the country: A video last month showed a Colorado Costco COST, +0.41% employee bouncing a non-mask-wearing customer whose defense was that he “woke up in a free country.” Last month, Mike Pence acknowledged that he made a mistake by visiting patients at the Mayo Clinic without a mask, while health-care workers said management and staff at the Mayo Clinic have serious soul-searching to do.
You can also offer positive reinforcement to people who do wear masks. “How about saying, ‘Thank you for wearing a mask,’ or ‘I appreciate that you’re wearing a mask’?” suggested Gretchen Chapman, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. “Even if that university rule weren’t there, I could say, ‘I have a personal rule that I’ll only meet with people when we’re all wearing masks, so could you put on a mask?’” she said. Publicizing the rules ahead of time isn’t a bad idea, she added.
Friends and family members will be easier to talk to since you share a personal connection, Bloomfield said. If you know the person, “you could certainly appeal to common values and experiences,” she added. “Perhaps you know people in common who are particularly at risk for contracting the disease.”
