A spokesperson for London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed to Reuters that their officers followed the NPCC guidelines. The spokesperson said: “Police officers will socially distance where possible and Personal Protective Equipment will be worn when necessary. It is up to each individual officer to decide whether PPE should be used in any given situation. Face coverings can be a barrier to communication and we will be careful about how and when we wear them.”

Fair enough but they were only in buying breakfast...2 bacon rolls each btw.

I was going to ask this.....if they were there on Police business I think that would be ok but if they are going into a shop as a paying customer then they absolutely should be wearing them

:suspect:

what medical reasons?

and i think corona is medical reason enough for just one to go inside, and if the other wants a redbull or some cigarettes he could just ask his partner to buy some while he needs to pay for petrol anyway

lots, go read up on "exemptions" as its a long list :).

no the cop wanted to use the change in his pocket as he had a lot of £2 coins and it was ruining the line of his strides so he had to go in plus he fancies the girl at the costa coffee bit

also if you got medical problems, you are among a risk group so entering a small enclosed shop potentially with more customers inside not the best idea

so being among that risk group makes wearing a face covering then more recommendable

Same as what I would do if I saw an ordinary citizen with no mask on................nothing :laugh:

I even gave someone a visible headshake of disapproval the other day, there was a woman at the local shopping centre whose mask only covered her bottom lip, plus she was coming right at me since following arrows on the floor is apparently difficult.

Tell me about it, it takes more effort to do stuff like that then it does to simply wear the mask. The mask isn't even that much of a bother either, i can't tell you the amount of times I've walked out of a shop and been halfway down the road only to realise that I'm still wearing my mask.

Me too.

I've got back in the house and sat down.
Then realised I still had it on then often.

I did find it irritating at first, but over the weeks and months it's just no bother in the slightest.

Are floor arrows still common in England? They've more or less done away with one way systems here. Still in place in some smaller shops but they're gone from all of the larger places.

It depends on the building I think. There was a lot of one way systems in shops I'd been in that have since been done away with but I reckon for places like shopping centres, there's probably a one way system in place for a lot of them.
