Today was the first day wearing face masks is mandatory when visiting shops in England.

The Stray Ferret has been asking people how they feel about having to wear face masks in shops.

Kate Baker is a nurse and said:

"I can't understand it, it makes me said. I think people think its finished and all over and they aren't realising what can happen. We don't know whats going to happen in the next few months.
I think we should absolutely be wearing them in shops but for how long is up to the scientists. As a nurse it feels wrong not having one on because I'm used to wearing them at work."

  • The police have said that fining people for not wearing a mask will be "a last resort".

  • We have compiled a list of local in-store and online retailers selling masks. 





Mask wearing has been called for by some people since shops reopened on last month.

The government has introduced this mandatory rule which could leave people with a £100 fine if they choose not to wear one.
