We are told that the government has made it law to wear facemasks when in shops, enclosed public spaces etc.
Which law?
Has anyone got a link to it please?
I ask because in the shops they have signs saying its guidelines or recommendations - not law.
Googling I can find:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/...ntres-and-enclosed-transport-hubs-from-friday
Which mentions that "the Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984 will include powers for the police to enforce the requirement to wear a face covering."
However within that act:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/22
I am unable to find such a requirement?
Can you find it?
