Take Preventative Action To Avoid A Second Wave
Take Preventative Action To Avoid A Second Wave
With face coverings becoming mandatory in English shops from July 24th, now is the right time to stock up on face coverings and masks, along with appropriate PPE and cleaning consumables.
A proactive approach is always better than a reactive one. By introducing preventative safety measures sooner rather than later, businesses can help prevent a second wave of Covid-19 from taking the UK into a Winter lockdown.
Should my business implement mandatory face masks?
Evidence shows that Covid-19 is an active airbourne virus, spreading via small and large droplets. This means we now have a good understanding of what products can kill and help to reduce the spread of the virus.
UK Guidance recommends that the general public use face coverings or masks on public transport, in shops, and in confined or crowded environments. The wearing of face masks, in areas where it can be difficult to maintain distancing, should be combined with good hand hygiene practice to ensure a safe indoor environment.
As of 22nd July 2020, mandatory rules for wearing masks around the UK are:
