  No, that's Nassau County, New York. Not the entirety of New York. Says it right there in the article you linked. There's also a lawsuit challenging it, also linked at the end of the article. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-lawsuit-challenges-public-face-covering-ban-nassau-county-new-rcna167936 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-lawsuit-challen...

  So it is illegal to wear a hijab / niqab?

    To be clear, a baseball hides more of your face than a hijab. (Niqab is a different story.)

    Answered in the article: > However, it has exemptions for health and religious reasons.

      I did not see that. I double checked just now and there are still zero results for "religious", not sure why.
