From 15 June, coverings will be mandatory on public transport, in Ubers and in hospitals, so make sure you're informed on how to wear one and where to buy them from.

The coronavirus pandemic has meant that face masks and coverings will become part of daily life.

The UK government and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have both advised wearing face coverings in a bid to reduce the infection transmission of Covid-19.

From 15 June, it will be mandatory in England to wear them while using public transport and in hospitals. These rules apply to everyone, except for children under the age of two, disabled people and those with respiratory conditions.

Uber will also be making coverings mandatory for drivers and customers from 15 June and taking additional safety measures such as regularly sanitising their cars. Customers will also be reminded to sit in the backseat only and to roll down the windows for ventilation.
