From today, it’s mandatory to wear a face covering when shopping in England. Protect yourself, shopworkers and other customers.

Abuse is #NotPartOfTheJob and it should not be the responsibility of shopworkers to enforce the law. Together we can #KeepShopsSafe

It is mandatory to wear face coverings in shops and supermarkets however people with certain disabilities and breathing conditions will be exempt.

– if you have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability that means you cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering

– if putting on, wearing or removing a face covering would cause you severe distress
