Face coverings

Face coverings are now required in retail outlets and on public transport. Face coverings offer a higher level of protection from infection, however, face shields (including Perspex shield and similar) are acceptable forms of face coverings as they may be preferable for people with communications difficulties. With this in mind we thought it might be timely to share with you some simple messages you can help to pass on.
