Closed Make the wearing of face masks mandatory in Retail and Workplace settings

Closed on

For it to be made compulsory for all people to wear face masks in shops and workplaces to reduce the risk of coronavirus (COVID-19) in such areas.

Many workplaces are denying their staff from wearing face masks. This is especially a problem in retail environments. Making face masks mandatory in these settings for employees and customers could reduce risk of coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading among employees, clients and shoppers.
