Received from Devon County Council:

More places require face coverings from Saturday

From Saturday (8 August) the list of places where you're required by law to wear face coverings will increase to include venues such as cinemas, theatres, museums, places of worship, public areas in hotels, libraries, community centres and many more. A full list is available on the government's website, so make sure you take a look.

It's really important to cover up your nose and mouth when you're in enclosed public spaces because you come into contact with people you do not normally meet and social distancing may be more difficult, so the risk of transmission is much higher.

However, young children under 11 years old don't have to wear one, and children under 3 years old should not wear face coverings because they could cause choking or suffocation.

People not able to put on, wear or remove a face covering because of a physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability are also exempt from wearing one.

The government has produced 'exception cards' that you can download from their website to print or save to your smartphone. They're designed to make you feel more comfortable but it's up to you; you don't have to carry one and you shouldn't be routinely asked to provide any written evidence of your exemption.
