With some exemptions, most shoppers in England must wear a face covering from today. Those who fail to follow the guidelines can be fined up to 100 pounds ($128).

A police representative, however, has said that it’s “impossible” for them to enforce the new rule, and he urged the public to “be nice” in this difficult situation.
