Make the wearing of masks compulsory in retail outlets

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The spread of corona virus is on the increase. The blatant disregard by some members of the public with regards to wearing masks places other service users at risk.
this procedure is effective in other countries. There are volunteer groups who can assist those who self identify as vulnerable.

There is a trend for a number of people to self identify as being vulnerable. The wearing of a lanyard is not appropriate, especially when these can be purchased online.
The shop management need to be empowered but whilst there is so little support they will not challenge non wearers.
If a person is that unwell that they cannot wear a mask then they need to seek alternative assistance. Using mental well-being is no longer acceptable as the mental well-being of those who do comply is stretched
