Passenger refuses to wear a mask. She boarded in one and was also wearing it during compliance. She refuses to comply after being asked by both me and the D Flight Attendant. She says she can't wear them for a long period of time. I kindly reminded her it is part of the agreement by choosing to fly in these times; but she refuses.It is unsafe for those around her and us; as crew; who continually have to stop by her row when she rings her call light. Since this is a matter of safety and the well-being of both passengers and employees in an unprecedented global pandemic; a medical exemption should require a medical clearance from a doctor; as well as a negative COVID test within 72 hours of flying with us.
