Inform your customers of the new law with the Indie Retail Face Covering Poster

Posted on in Business News

The government announced earlier this week that wearing a face covering will become mandatory in shops and supermarkets in England from 24 July.

Face coverings are already compulsory in Scotland - but different rules apply across the UK. However, the rules won't apply to shop workers.

The BBC has reported that those who fail to wear a mask in stores will face a fine of up to £100. This will be reduced to £50 if people pay within 14 days.

Following this announcement Indie Retail has created a Face Covering Poster for shops to display outside their shops to inform customers of the new law.

  • the steps being taken to meet the Government's guidance
  • the expectations of customers and employees to ensure the Government's guidance is met.
