Sorry a mask one, bowling alleys, cinemas, arcades etc

[MarmitesMyMate]

Can't find guidance on these?
Only about shops etc

So far it’s only shops and public transport.

Everywhere rise is probably still encouraged but not mandatory.

The National Hair and Beauty Federation say it applies to hairdressers too

What about tattooists?
I'm getting a tattoo on Friday.

From Guardian this morning -

Where you will have to wear a face covering
The new rule applies to:

All public transport, including taxis and private hire vehicles, and transport hubs (airports, rail and tram stations and terminals.
maritime ports and terminals, bus and coach stations and terminals)
Shops and supermarkets and generally places that offer goods or services for retail sale or hire, enclosed shopping centres and indoor markets.
Takeaways without space for consumption of food or drink on the premises.
Premises providing personal care and beauty treatments such as hair salons, barbers, nail salons, massage centres, tattoo and piercing studios.
Auction houses and retail galleries.
Post offices.
Banks, building societies, high-street solicitors and accountants, credit unions, short-term loan providers, savings clubs and money service businesses.
Estate and lettings agents and retail travel agents.
Pharmacies.
Vets.
Masks must also be worn during driving lessons and driving tests.

Where you don’t have to wear a face covering
All hospitality venues are exempt, including pubs, restaurants, cafes and canteens, bars, restaurants and bars in hotels or members’ clubs, and shisha bars.

Also exempt are photography studios, as well as premises – other than registered pharmacies – providing medical or dental services, audiology services, chiropody, chiropractic, osteopathic, optometry or other medical services including services relating to mental health.

Our local ones have all reintroduced mask wearing but not sure if that’s compulsory or their own choice.

Thanks for that list. Seems crazy to be excluding hospitality

They have copied from here -

www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own

Isn't it common sense to wear one anywhere indoors in a public setting now? Eating / dining excluded ?

I'm surprised how many people are waiting to be told stuff.

I think they have excluded it because it's December this week and hospitality would loose a fortune if the restrictions came back to masks moving around and table service but it does seem crazy that people can and will cram I to bars ,pubs and clubs with no masks on but I have to wear 1 when I go into the bank

Really anywhere you’re interacting with strangers you should wear one, also any enclosed space without proper ventilation is a risk regardless of what the sign on the door says it is.

No doubt this will come out soon.

We should also have the social distancing rule in place now, that’s for Delta alone never mind Omicron. My local city’s stores were absolutely rammed this weekend, capacity limits are needed too in my opinion.

They usually have their own guidance. My tattooists are all self employed, some ask you to wear masks and some don't.

Exactly.

Relying on common sense is a dangerous prospect. It's pretty thin on the ground.

cue retaliatory keyboard bashing about sheeple, control and the need to wake up

Interesting thread op. I went to an arcade with Ds on Sunday obviously before the mask rules came back in today. I wore a mask just because I had been shopping too and felt I should, I've been wearing one still anyway. Ds is still young. No one was wearing one.I felt out of place wearing one tbh. I'm not sure what people will be doing now.

I just thought it was common sense. I went to a funeral recently. I find there's usually many older vulnerable people at funerals so I assumed most people would be wearing masks. I was probably the only one wearing one. No it wasn't mandatory but I just thought people would tbh.

The great British public doesn't seem to have any common sense! I totally agree with you though.

I sat through my son's Graduation ceremony last week, mask firmly on. I was in the minority sadly. Inside in an auditorium it seemed obvious to me.

Also exempt are photography studios, as well as premises – other than registered pharmacies – providing medical or dental services, audiology services, chiropody, chiropractic, osteopathic, optometry or other medical services including services relating to mental health.

That seems odd, my osteopath and optician have been very hot on masks right through, as you'd expect.

I think "we" still haven't recovered from all those months of being told masks were unecessary or even harmful of not worn correctly and changed frequently.

They're uncomfortable, no one actually wants to wear one and the same experts saying wear one now are the people who told us not to initially. It's not surprising people aren't all complying.

Personally I do when it's no hardship and i can't avoid it (shops/transport) but if I had to wear one all evening in a theatre, for example, I wouldn't go

lf they go back to masks unless seated in hospitality venues, you've cancelled Christmas for that industry.

Most planned events couldn't happen

@AndMatt

Most planned events couldn't happen

Which events aren't happening in all those countries already wearing masks?

I'm going to the theatre in London at the weekend and checked the theatre website which says masks should be worn unless exempt.

I guess it's up to the individual establishments in entertainment??

Anything that vaguely resembles a party wouldn't happen if people had to wear masks. Even things like bowling would see a huge reductions in bookings if people had to wear masks.

I don't know, are people partying in masks in other countries?
