I’m just wondering.

Do you still wear a face mask when out in enclosed public places like shops?

I’ll be honest and say that I don’t anymore.

    @Biblioklept yes I’m similar in that I tend to not wear it because now the vast majority don’t so I would stand out. When the majority did wear one I’d do the same because if I didn’t I’d stand out :D

    My answer would be 'sometimes'. I still wear one in busy places, and wore one recently when I had a cold. I'd be lying if I said I wore one as much as I used to, though!

    I still wear one as I’m immunosuppressed due to my medication. I’m finding it very difficult, especially when travelling.

    I have only just started to not wear one in quiet shops (maybe one or two other people inside). It makes me feel anxious though. Due to my med condition, I have always used hand gel and wiped trolley handles. When the pandemic was in full swing I suddenly felt like I didn't look OTT because everyone else was gelling. Now I'm back to being an outsider! Ha ha!

    @Starlingbird same here, I used to wash my hands all the time and clean everything and I quite liked the pandemic as I was no longer the only one doing it, everyone was, and everything was so clean!

    I don`t wear one, but do carry one with me.  If I`m in a shop / cafe etc and the person behind the counter is wearing one, I ask if they would prefer I wore one too.

    •Only If you were infected from Covid, and others are living in the same tight space as you are, like in a small apartments, you probably don't.

    • That's why in public spaces we're supposed to wear adult face masks, because each of us is protecting all the others.

    Sometimes. I think this is the best time of the year to be wearing facemasks with so many people getting colds and the flu. Just in case
