Tesco and Asda to enforce ban on shoppers without masks, as Covid clampdown continues
Tesco and Asda have become the latest supermarkets to say they will ban shoppers not wearing masks, as retailers step up their moves to halt the spread of coronavirus.
The UK’s biggest retailer Tesco said it was acting to protect staff and customers and appealed to shoppers to stick to the rules.
As well as enforcing the wearing of masks it is also urging customers to shop alone unless they are with children or are a carer.
“Since the start of the pandemic, we have focused on ensuring everyone can get the food they need in a safe environment,” said a Tesco spokeswoman.
“To protect our customers and colleagues, we won’t let anyone into our stores who is not wearing a face covering, unless they are exempt in line with government guidance.”
