The wearing of masks by retail employees has been mandatory in England since 24th September [1].

Up here in Manchester I don't recall seeing any supermarket workers not wearing them. I can easily believe that conditions in London are different though.

I'll take some pics next time. As I say, we have a huge enforcement gap here.

I'm also in Manchester, haven't seen anyone without a mask in a shop for a long time.
