Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has issued a rule update that affects everyone who shops in its supermarkets.
From January 27, shoppers in England will no longer be required by law to wear a face mask in any shop in the country.
Health guidance, however, will remain for people to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces, where you may come into contact with people you do not normally meet.

And this has seen supermarket chain Sainsbury's put in a request to its customers and staff.
It said: "Safety remains our highest priority. From Thursday, we’re asking our customers and colleagues in England to continue to wear a face covering in our stores if they are able to.
"In Scotland and Wales face coverings remain mandatory for those who can wear them in our stores, in line with the latest Government restrictions.
"We continue to have a range of safety measures in all of our stores, including screens and sanitising stations. "
The Government said England will fully return to Plan A on Thursday, January 27 thanks to the success of the booster programme, says Wales Online.
Work from home guidance has now been removed and face mask rules for schools is also being relaxed.
