JULY 24 is coming – and with it the compulsory wearing of face masks in shops.
It’s already been the case on public transport and at NHS facilities since June 15 – and many people have been coming up with inventive designs to brighten things up.
It's still possible to see someone's smiling
We asked readers to send us pictures of their face coverings – you can do the same and send your pictures here.
Photos came flooding in, featuring everything from zombies to superheroes, as well as some snazzy design work. So we’re featuring a selection of them here.
Happy families
You can send us more pictures of you in your mask or face covering – and tell us where you got it from, or even if you made it yourself.
It might just give other readers inspiration – and encourage them to cover up as well!
Here's a reminder of the latest rules on wearing face coverings, which come into effect in less than a week – Friday, July 24.
Have mask, can travel
Remember, if you don’t wear a face covering in a shop or supermarket after that date you risk a £100 fine. There are some exemptions. Children under 11 and those with certain disabilities will be exempt.
Mask-wearing has been compulsory on public transport in England and at NHS facilities across the UK since June 15.
Face coverings can be a scarf, homemade mask or reusable or disposable mask. Advice is to wash hands before and after use and wash reusable coverings regularly.
