FACE masks will become mandatory for staff and the public in all shops and supermarkets in England from Thursday 24.
Anyone who refuses to wear one will be fined £200.
On September 22, PM Boris Johnson said customers should be wearing masks when moving around hospitality businesses, such as walking to their table or visiting the toilet at a pub.
The masks should only be removed when eating or drinking and sat at your table.
These new rules will be in force from Monday 28 September.
Will I be fined for not wearing a face mask?
Brits who do not follow the new rules face a fine of up to £3,200, for repeat offenders.
Compulsory mask wearing will be enforced by police, according to the government, instead of shop owners and staff themselves, who are allowed to call the police or refuse the person entry.
