WHERE/when should face coverings be worn? There seems to be, still, some confusion on this issue.

Where I feel there is little confusion is – where I might or might not smoke, ie in public places, shopping malls, pubs and cafes , public transport, cinemas, football stadia etc. I really cannot remember the last time I saw this law being abused!

I suggest the same rule should be applied to the wearing of face masks: “Where smoking is not allowed, face masks must be worn.”

If there are obvious exceptions to this rule in certain venues then these exceptions could be boldly displayed in these venues, eg in restaurants the displayed exception could be: “When you are eating or drinking face coverings may be removed. “

This rule should be enforced – even for Prime Ministers!!!!
