Mandatory masks in shops
The example is Germany. I would feel much safer if everyone is wearing a mask in places where I cannot avoid people.
Why the contribution is important
Many people are still coming too close, some of them are even coughing. If everyone would wear a mask in closed buildings, we all would feel safer and could prevent infections easier.

Why the contribution is important
I think that the wearing of face coverings/masks in appropriate situations is important because:
1. It is beneficial in preventing the spread of the virus.
2. It will publicly and visibly reinforce community commitment to a disciplined approach to emerging from the crisis.
3. It will be acknowledged by the our neighbours in Europe and the wider World as a reassurance that we are taking the threats of a "second wave" seriously and responsibly.

There’s definitely been an increase in folk wearing masks or covering their face with a scarf. All of that is useless when you keep touching it. Wearing a mask on your chin just makes you look like an idiot and having you nose hanging out of it is of no benefit! Rearranging and touching it constantly defeats the purpose of wearing it in the first place!! Removing it and scrunching it up in your hand just transfers what’s on the glove to your hand!
And for the folk who are discarding their disposable masks and gloves in the supermarket car park......there are no words!

Education around why this preventative measure helps and how to use masks/coverings is key.
I think that for the benefit of employees and others in retail premises etc. it is only fair that the rest of us take precautionary measures. This needs to be couched with the information that other social distancing guidance still applies.
My understanding is that wearing a face covering prevents me from potentially spreading the virus if I am a carrier or in the incubating/asymptomatic category.
