NEW rules making it mandatory for Brits to wear face masks in shops have been announced today.
From tomorrow, Friday July 24, wearing masks will become compulsory in shops and takeaways in a bid to slow down the spread of coronavirus.
Those who are caught not wearing face masks will be hit by a £100 fine, cut to £50 if paid within a fortnight.
It comes as as England’s coronavirus regional divide has revealed that eight out of the ten worst hit areas are in northern towns and cities.
While cases have remained flat across the UK a North/South divide has started to form with eight of the most at risk areas being in the North of England and one being in North Wales.
Experts at King’s College London said the number of cases in the South has stayed the same, but in the North they have increased.
