Remember, not all health conditions are visible
If you can, you should wear a face covering in public places like shops and supermarkets but please respect those who are unable to wear one.
Remember, not all health conditions are visible
The list of exemptions, which has been in place since face coverings became mandatory on public transport, includes hidden conditions such as:
- anxiety or panic disorders
- autism
- breathing difficulties
- dementia
- reduced vision or if you are with someone who relies on lip reading to communicate
Full details available on the GOV.UK website about face covering exemptions.
Exemption cards or badges
Some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign. You can download exemption cards on the GOV.UK website.
