Face Coverings – Compulsory from 24 July 2020

The government has announced that wearing of face covering in public settings will become compulsory from Friday 24th July, 2020.

Patients are advised to note that GPs are not required to provide individual risk assessments or letters for patients who feel that they should be exempt from wearing a face mask.

The Government guidance suggests there is ‘no requirement for evidence for exemption. Practices are therefore not required to provide letters of support for those who fall under the list of exemptions, or to those who do not fall under the list of exemptions.’

Patients should visit the government website where they can download and print their own exemption card by clicking Face-Covering-Exemption-Cards
