Face coverings were already still mandatory in the devolved nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. “What I won’t be doing is asking my store colleagues to police those who refuse to adhere to the rules. They’re already working under significant pressure, especially as we hit the busiest trading month of the year,” Richard Walker, MD of the Iceland supermarket chain told BBC radio.

Tesco and Sainsbury’s, Britain’s two biggest supermarket groups, similarly said they are asking customers to wear masks, using new signs and posters.

IN FULL: Vaccination drive just got real, says President Cyril RamaphosaWe have been undertaking engagements with social partners and other stakeholders on introducing measures that make vaccination a condition for access to workplaces, public events, public transport and public establishments. Let's see how this works for businesses 🙃 it will definitely work for employers because employees need to keep their jobs but businesses! Alright Social partners & other stakeholders are not who you work for. Govt of the people, by the people & for the people, not stakeholders. In others words you've been meeting in secret with those who want to remain unamed, as to what tyranny & manipulation you'll subject us to next. This is nonsense and Ramaphosa government must be stopped right now otherwise we will continue under the Westen rule.
