Some people cannot wear a face covering for legitimate reasons. An exemption card is a way of showing this without needing to explain.
You do not need to wear a face covering if you have a legitimate reason not to. This includes not being able to wear one due to:
-
disability, learning disability or if you are autistic
-
lung and breathing conditions
-
physical or mental illness
-
severe distress
-
supporting someone who uses lip reading
-
escaping harm or injury
-
needing to eat, drink or take medication
