Wearing face coverings will be compulsory on public transport in England from the 15th of June, the transport secretary has just said.
Grant Shapps said “every precaution” must be taken as passenger numbers are expected to increase when lockdown measures are further eased.
People will have to wear coverings on buses, trains, aircraft and ferries.
Very young children, disabled people and those with breathing difficulties will be exempt, he said.
We will issue further guidance as soon as it becomes available.
