Existing Government guidance recognises that some people may be either exempt or have a reasonable excuse for not wearing a face covering, and that they should not be challenged about this. The guidance also makes clear that social distancing and good hand hygiene remain fundamentally important in helping to reduce the spread of the virus. These aspects of the guidance apply to all people, including those who are not wearing a face covering.
