FACE MASKS ON UK PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Wear face coverings on public transport 

From next Monday 15 June, you must wear a face covering while using public transport.

You should still be avoiding public transport where possible. If you do need to make an essential journey using public transport, please plan in advance and, if possible, try and travel at off peak times.

A face covering is not the same as a personal protection facemask (PPE) used by healthcare and frontline workers, but it can help stop the spread of the virus. Click here to find out how to make your own face covering.

The government is also now advising people to wear a face covering in places where social distancing is not always possible, such as shops.
