Regarding the current crisis, and the urgent need to get rid of this awful virus.

I listen to the daily report from the government, and they always say ‘wear your mask when you enter a building’, but what about when you exit that building?

If I go to the town centre and want to enter a shop, I am obliged to wear a mask [no mask, no entry] use the hand sanitiser and observe social distancing, so really I am quite safe inside a shop.

It’s when I come out, the problem becomes more dangerous; I notice people donning a mask to enter a shop but the minute they come out they take it off.

People should be actively encouraged to wear a mask outside, especially in a town centre setting or where there are other people about.

I’m sure that this would make a big difference.
