Create an official exemption card for those unable to use a face covering.
An exemption card should be issued by a medical professional to an individual who is unable to put on, wear or remove a face covering because of a physical, mental illness/impairment or disability or
putting on or wearing or removing a face covering will cause severe distress.
The majority of those not wearing a face covering in England just don’t want to. This puts the public, vulnerable and the NHS at risk of a Covid-19 peak.
An offical exemption card should be issued on a case by case basis to those who are unable to use a covering due to a medical exemption. If this can’t be shown then it will allow businesses to refuse entry if a person won’t use a face covering. This will then protect everyone and allow enforcement of your face covering guidance.
