I mean yes and no, technically they are legally mandatory but one of the exemptions is just "finding it distressing", so any anti-masker can just say that they find it distressing (which they probably do). No proof beyond that is required for exemption so it's a toothless law. Really the reason for it being in place is to enforce businesses continuing to strongly encourage mask use instead of being able to say "come on in, we're not bothered about it here".
