The U-turn on face coverings in shops in England has been welcomed after several days of confusion.

The comments come after it was announced late last night that wearing face coverings in English shops and supermarkets will be made mandatory from July 24.Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to make a full statement on the fresh legislation tonight.

A Downing Street spokesman said on Monday: ‘There is growing evidence that wearing a face covering in an enclosed space helps protect individuals and those around them from coronavirus. The Prime Minister has been clear that people should be wearing face coverings in shops and we will make this mandatory from July 24.’

It adds to the list of places we have to be covered up which currently includes all public transport as well as all hospital visitors and outpatients in England. There are a few exceptions to the new rules – children under 11 and people with certain disabilities and breathing conditions will be exempt.
