Face masks have become very important in preventing the spread of coronavirus.
From Friday, face coverings will be compulsory in all shops and supermarkets.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it would "give people more confidence to shop safely and enhance protections for those who work in shops".
But where else do you need to wear them? Here's the latest advice, the Mirror reports.
Where do you legally need to wear a face covering?
In England, it is currently only compulsory to wear a face covering while you are using public transport.
Anyone travelling by bus, train, plane or ferry is legally required to wear a face covering to protect themselves - and their fellow passengers - for the entirety of their journey.
Some people are exempt:
- Children under 11
- People with breathing difficulties
- People with any disability that makes it difficult for them to wear or remove a face covering
- Those travelling with or assisting somebody who relies on lip reading to communicate
Face masks can be briefly removed for eating and drinking, to take medication, or if instructed by a police officer or other authority.
From Friday, July 24 it will also become compulsory to wear a face mask in shops and supermarkets.
Anyone who refuses can be fined £100 by the police, while shops have the right to deny entry to anybody not complying with the rules.
The Government will publish the law on Thursday, July 23 - just a day before it comes into effect.
This will lay out the legal definition of shop, and clarify whether businesses such as takeaway sandwich shops are included.
Where else do you need to wear a face mask?
While there is no legal requirement, it is recommended that you wear a face mask in any confined spaces where it is difficult to social distance.
If you are visiting the GP you may be asked to wear a face covering, while many taxi firms have made them compulsory for both drivers and passengers.
Most NHS trusts have made face coverings a requirement for both patients and visitors in hospital.
If you are spending time with people who you don't usually see, it's a good idea to wear a face mask as a precaution.
