The problem is that I am not exempt and would not on any account say I was. I would also refuse to 'prove' anything to anybody other than police. I'd rather not get into anything and would just walk away.
I was more concerned about getting on a queue of around 50/60 people who, presumably, were queueing for the sanitising station. I would never go near it unless they could guarantee that every item of their stock and fittings had also been sanitised after every customer. Along with the money in the tills. I would be more likely to be infected with anything whilst in such a queue! This comes from my early occupation where public health qualifications were necessary. The innocence and ignorance of the general public at large is alarming. The truth is I don't believe a single word of any of it so treat all of them with contempt I'm afraid.

It is a very difficult situation and I think we need to be more tolerant when asked to wear a mask, no matter how silly or frustrating it may seem. macafee2 |

Sounds like this security guard has been briefed inappropriately or just cannot comprehend the nuances. My local Tesco also has staff wearing either item in store. Kev |

There was talk of making everybody wear the disposable medical grade masks up here. That would be a problem for me, I "lost" the top of my left ear in an accident early last year and can't wear an over the ear mask, there's no rigidity in the ear to hold the mask in place, it just slips off. I use washable cloth masks my wife's friend made which I adapted with one piece of elastic around the neck and another over the top of my head.

I have bought a couple of "better quality" reusable filtered masks and find them much better in use ie more comfortable and less steam up of my glasses. As far as sanitiser etc is concerned I use a rucksack for shopping and in one side pocket I have a small bottle of sanitiser and in the other side I have a small bottle of disinfecting spray that I use on trolley or basket handles..Simples
Stay safe all Cheers Ian |

Bob, sorry to hear about your recent problems when shopping at Tesco's.
I'd say it was a touch of the overzealous security guard either not knowing or misunderstanding Tesco company policy with regard to face coverings, a chat with the duty manager might well have resolved the matter. My good lady Jean, who is employed by Tesco, can say that it's correct that you require a face covering when entering their premises, however this includes all types of coverings such as surgical face masks, fabric face masks, scarves pulled up over the face and nose, plus face visors etc. Jim |

On our local GP site their is definite proof that shields. are NOT suitable, nor are the filter type masks.
Anyone who requests to enter without a proper mask is in my opinion looking for an excuse not to comply. I have seen a medical video explaining the use of masks, and the myths about wearing them causing problems It was proven in the video that wearing 4 - yes FOUR - masks dis not impair breathing. I can agree that some people feel uncomfortable with them, but this is a thing you can get used to if you really try. I know this will ruffle a few, but having been involved in this issue I won't change my mind or argue more about it. |

my local tescos said 1 person only. so all we did was she got out the car walked in and then I just parked up got out walked into the store then met back up with my good lady. whist I was walking in there was two women that walked from different end of the car park and said ohh hi I haven't seen you in ages to each other. so they walked to the doors talking the guy on the door told them only one person is allowed in and there were there for 5 minutes telling him they were friend and didn't live with each other evening begging him to let them in. This must give the little Hitler on the door so much feeling of power.
