Once again face masks/coverings have become mandatory when using public transport or visiting shops in an effort to slow the spread of the new coronavirus variant – Omicron.
The new rules came into effect at 4am, 30th November 2021. Scientists believe that the Omicron variant has a higher re-infection risk and shoppers and commuters who refuse to wear a face mask could face a minimum fine of £200
