Closed Require people exempt from wearing face coverings to wear a face shield

Closed on

I want the Government to revise the rules on wearing face coverings to require people who are currently exempt from wearing a face covering to be required to wear a face shield in places where a face covering is currently required, unless they are medically unable to do so.

The Government has put in place exemptions to the requirement to wear face coverings for people who are unable to wear a face mask, but many of these people could wear a face shield. While this does not protect the user it can help reduce the risk of transmission to other people.
