SHOPPERS could be fined £100 if they are caught without a mask in supermarkets.
Masks were already required on buses, trains and most public transport in England and the government also encouraged covering up in taxis too.
But a lot of people, without the rules, have been choosing to wear a mask around the supermarkets already.
Others have speculated the effectiveness of home-made, non-surgical masks.
We want to know what you think…
