From Friday 24 July, members of the public must wear a face covering when visiting a shop or supermarket. Guidance on this was published on 14 July. For other public indoor spaces, the Government already advises people to wear face coverings in enclosed spaces where they cannot easily social distance and where they come into contact with people they do not normally meet.

The Government continually reviews and refines its advice on face coverings, led by the latest scientific evidence and advice provided to us.
