Mask wearing

Is wearing a mask out in the street manditory or personal choice?

We have holiday renters for the Winter period in next door. They refuse to wear masks. When asked to do so by other permanent neighbours they say their masks are in their pockets. But they never put them on. We are all trying to be vigilent in the community but these people arent. Is it compulsory to wear a mask now?

Mandatory.

They will be fined if they are not wearing a mask and stopped by the police

Report them, you are putting yourself at risk by not reporting it

Were they in there own garden or out on street

They are out walking their dog on tbe street. Nobody wears a mask in their own garden - do they?

Personally I always have my mask on me when walking my dogs but not on! If anyone walks towards me I cross the road.
As long as I am not near anyone I can’t see the issue.
I have my mask should I can no longer socially distance myself.

Same with people seeing them on their own when driving.... what’s the point in that?

Just because you cannot see the issue doesn't make it right, it's wrong and you should wear one

“REPORT THEM”

God give me strength!

Listen to yourselves!

This is 2020 Spain not 1940 Nazi Germany!

All for a Chinese man made Virus survivable by 97.3% of the population under 80 with no underlying health issues!

Mean while deaths from Flu, Infuenza and alike have miraculously disappeared this year!

As masks are the topic, interesting fact, more deaths from Spanish flu were caused by the accumulation of bacteria in face masks causing breathing difficulties than the flu itself!

Have a nice day!

If you don't replace them or wash them frequently the same will probably happen now. Hopefully we've come a long way with personal hygiene since the Spanish flu and it won't happen now.
