It’s not a big Ask to wear A Mask
July 14, 2020
It was announced yesterday that wearing a face covering in shops and supermarkets in England is to become mandatory from 24 July.
Those who fail to comply with the new rules will face a fine of up to £100, the government has announced.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it would "give people more confidence to shop safely and enhance protections for those who work in shops".

The move will bring England into line with Scotland and other major European nations like Spain, Italy and Germany.
Since mid-May, the public have been advised to wear coverings in enclosed public spaces, where they may encounter people they would not usually meet.
It is important to stress that it is still essential that we all keep washing our hands!
It has been compulsory on public transport in England and at NHS facilities across the UK since 15 June.
He added: "There is also evidence that face coverings increase confidence in people to shop."
Also, people aged over 60 are now being advised to wear medical-grade face masks by the World Health Organisation.
Key points:
As healthcare4all have permission to sell the Official 5 layer composition KN95 masks we normally supply The NHS and wholesale. However, since the announcement yesterday we thought it would be a good idea for our customers to be able to buy their own supply without the worry of getting cheap fake copies or poorly manufactured masks.
Scientists have tested 14 different types of face-covering and found that one of them actually increases the risk of coronavirus infection.
Researchers at Duke University in North Carolina tested coverings ranging from the kind worn by healthcare professionals to neck fleeces and knitted masks.
The study's authors compared the dispersal of droplets from a participant's breath while they were wearing one of the coverings to the results of a control trial where their mouth was fully exposed.
The most effective face-covering in the study was a fitted N95 mask without valves which had a droplet transmission fraction of 0.1%.
