Officials to wear clear mask for deaf and hard of hearing

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To get keyworkers, hospital staff, shop workers and all other officials to wear clear mask instead of ordinary mask
Deaf and hard of hearing people, like myself, finding it difficult to hear what one is saying behind a mask when visiting shops or any appointments. It is embarrassing, frustrating and very upsetting for us. It would be great if officials could wear clear mouth mask or clear face visor instead of ordinary mask.
