Changes to coronavirus regulations
The Welsh Government has announced changes to the The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations 2020, which came into effect on 14th September. They include the requirement to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces, such as shops, but with exemptions and exceptions.
The guidance for people who cannot wear a facemask is as follows:
-
'Whether somebody has a reasonable excuse not to wear a face covering will not always be obvious. Disabilities and impairments are not always visible to others, and respect and understanding should be shown to those who have good reasons not to wear face coverings.
We advise people to carry information if possible which demonstrates why they have a reasonable excuse (for example a prescription or evidence such as a hospital appointment letter relating to a medical condition). A number of organisations such as transport operators have created cards that can be downloaded from their websites and printed'.
