If there’s one item of clothing that sums up 2020, it has to be, without a doubt, the face mask. As we’re now in lockdown 2.0, keeping our faces covered is more important than ever to help protect others around us. According to Gov.uk, a face covering is all that’s required, provided that it is secure on the face and covers the mouth and nose, which means a scarf can work as well as an actual mask. There is a list of places where it’s also mandatory to wear one, including public transport, taxis, shops, post offices, and public places in general. However, it’s worth noting that the rules are different in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. (You can find out more information here.)
