Music, masks and vax

HONOLULU — A federal court in Hawaii refused to totally dismiss a former Hawaii Symphony Orchestra bassist’s lawsuit arising from his termination; he was fired for not getting a Covid-19 vaccination. The orchestra did not engage in an interactive process regarding his application for a religious exemption, nor has it shown that it would have caused undue hardship. The court says that because his instrument does not require removal of a mask, he could have played while tested and masked.
