Police chiefs say they don’t have enough officers to patrol supermarkets.

The police have set themselves up for a conflict with ministers by insisting that they will not enforce mask-wearing in supermarkets amid growing calls for tougher Covid measures including a crackdown on the number of people in workplaces.

Sources said the government was actively considering telling people to wear masks outdoors as the NHS faces its “most dangerous” point. A further 4,193 people were reported to have gone to hospital with coronavirus on Monday, bringing the current total to 32,294.

A ban on people in England walking or exercising with anyone from outside their household is also on the table, with sources saying it was “under active consideration”.

Ministers have been urged by trade unions to focus on underlining the need for home working as figures show that traffic on the tube in London -– often used by commuters -– is more than three times higher than in the first lockdown.

Remember, it is still the case that if wearing a face mask causes you 'severe distress', then you are exempt.

If you think face masks are useless, inhumane and disgusting, then you find wearing one severely distressing.

So don't do it.
