Face coverings will not have to be worn when buying takeaway food in England, Downing Street has suggested - nine days before wearing them in shops and supermarkets is to become mandatory.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We will be publishing the full guidance shortly but my understanding is that it wouldn’t be mandatory if you went in, for example, to a sandwich shop in order to get a takeaway to wear a face covering.
“It is mandatory… we are talking about supermarkets and other shops, rather than food shops.”
The development comes after Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove was pictured shopping in Pret A Manger without wearing a mask ahead of the law change.
