Supermarkets are being warned to get tougher on shoppers not following coronavirus rules as cases continue to soar. The rules on food shopping during the pandemic are currently not officially law but shops have been told this could change if compliance doesn't improve, according to reports.
Social distancing was introduced in supermarkets following the first lockdown last March, while wearing face masks came in as the Government began to ease restrictions in the summer.
It comes after a Public Health England study in November found supermarkets are the most common exposure setting for catching Covid-19 in the country.
