//I'm exempt from wearing a mask (I do wear one though) and I don't suffer from anything in jno's link.//
You don't have to suffer from anything to be exempt.
There are two categories of people who do not have to wear face coverings:
The first category are those who are "exempt". These include children, employees of the business or transport operator, police officers and other responders.
The second are those who have a "reasonable excuse" not to wear one. There are eight "reasonable excuses" in the non-exhaustive list provided and only one of them involves the medical condition of the wearer (or perhaps two if you include those who have to remove their face covering to take medicine).
