We asked Adver readers on our Facebook page if they would be wearing their masks in shops and on public transport when the new rules come into force today. Here’s what you had to say.

Judith Richmond: “Yes! Never stopped!”

Dee Blockley: “I’ve never stopped wearing my mask.”

Debbie Sherwood: “Never stopped.”

Lauren Curtis: “It’s it a legal requirement again? It’s not a choice.”

Yvonne Parr: “Most sensible people never stopped!”

Elspeth Hughes: “Continued to wear mask and adhering to social distancing throughout. Plus all three injections but it’s still such an easy request.”

Lois Mason: “People will have to wear a face mask on public transport and in shops from Tuesday unless exempt so don’t know why your asking if people are going to wear one it’s not a choice. I’ve never stopped wearing my mask so makes no difference to me.”

Kirsty Terri Louise Davies: “Never stopped.”

Theresa Slobodzian Rogan: “Never stopped wearing them.”

Maureen O’Donnell: “Haven’t stopped wearing masks in public places.”

David Hulme: “Scotland and Wales have never stopped wearing them it comes second nature to me now.”

Matthew Gough: “How many morons will still be wearing them under their noses? The fact that so many where them incorrectly renders them pointless.”

Helena Williams Bowie: “I’ve never stopped wearing a mask. I don’t really use public transport either.”

Lou Blackholly: “Never stopped.”

Julie Moran: “Never stopped.”

Ryan McCoy: “Well if that’s the rules then yes!”

Richard Plumby: “Unfortunately this will be around for the rest of our lives. If we have to I will, but we need to learn to live with it, lockdown or restrictions it’s going nowhere.”

Rosalyn Goward: “Do anyway but it doesn’t stop you getting it even that poor doctor at GWH died from it and he wore a more than us to protect himself.”
