In the UK it is now *compulsory* to wear a non-medical face covering when traveling on public transport, and in England this also applies to most public indoor spaces such as shops, banks, hair salons, transports hubs, and visitor attractions among other places. (Please bear in mind that rules in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland currently vary in some respects so it's important to check the guidelines for where you are specifically).
