From my experience in my locality Tesco 40%, Waitrose 80%, Garden Centre 90%. I always wear a mask out of respect to the staff that have put themselves on the line for us during the pandemic, many of which earn modest wages...

Hopefully something sensible today for schools and the wearing of masks in communal areas. Lots of schools here in the Thames Valley sending kids home, one local to me sent the whole of year 8 home (180 kids) for 14 days, it takes just one case.

Too much corn syrup guys...
