The nearest I can figure, it's like the "No Shirt? No Shoes? No Service!"-deal---you try to enter the place without the #mandated attire, the employees can call the cops and have them 'enforce the #mandate.'
An article (reporting the specifics of the CDC's latest mandate) is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Mandate” is built on ancient words that mean "to Give (the reins, the steering-wheel, the keys to the city, the symbol of power, the talking-stick) into one's Hand." #Mandating #Mandatory #Mandatary #Countermand #Remand #Mandamus
So the "mask mandate" 'gives authority into the hands' (of police & location-owners) to force you to go 'somewhere that doesn't require the mask' (almost the same way there's been a 'clothing mandate' for ... longer than there's been recorded history!)

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
