Swedish response initially was that people with masks have a false sense of safety and thus are less likely to socially distance. Since social distancing is more efficient by far, they chose to not require masks.

Swedes were the only ones in Europe acting rationally. May be Belarus was the second country that was reasonable

This is the first I've heard of anyone anywhere "Banning" the mask.

Where is that evidence?
After all, while masks are not foolproof, there is evidence that indicates that they do help reduce the spread of COVID-19
Where is that evidence?
Officials in Halmstad municipality, Sweden, recently forced a teacher to remove their mask and prohibited the use of masks and all forms of PPE in schools. The municipality said there was no scientific evidence for wearing masks, citing the Swedish public health agency. At the time, agency guidance stated that there were “great risks” that masks would be used incorrectly. This guidance has since been removed.
To someone unfamiliar with the Swedish response to COVID-19, this mask ban might sound shocking. After all, while masks are not foolproof, there is evidence that indicates that they do help reduce the spread of COVID-19, especially in situations where maintaining distance is impossible – such as schools.
