Holiday makers in Wales will find that travelling on public transport will look and feel very different from today as a new law requiring passengers to wear face coverings comes into force.
Anyone aged 11 or over must now wear a mask when using buses, trains, and taxis in an attempt to reduce the spread of coronavirus through coughing or sneezing, WalesOnline reports.
Those who refuse to wear a face covering could be hit with a £60 fine from police. In England, the fines are slightly higher at £100 a time.
The Welsh government warned people that drivers, guards and other operators of public transport might ask them not to board or use the service if they were not wearing face coverings, though there are exemptions for passengers with certain medical conditions.
Economy and transport Minister Ken Skates said: "From today the vast majority of our public transport users in Wales will be required to wear a face covering while travelling on our buses, our trains and in taxis.
"The law has been introduced to help reduce the risk of public transmission of coronavirus and to protect the health of our public transport users.
"We know it may not always be possible to maintain a two-metre physical distance on public transport and the requirement to wear a face covering is in addition to other guidance we have issued to our transport providers in order to encourage safe travel."
New rules see cinemas, museums and beauty salons in Wales reopening as lockdown restrictions are eased.
At the weekend, camp sites were allowed to reopen - although there are strict rules in place about the use of shared facilities.
Although face masks are mandatory in shops in England, the Welsh government has stopped short of imposing a similar rule there.
