Exemption cards or badges from wearing a face mask/ face covering
Some people can’t wear a face mask or covering because of a disability or severe distress.
Some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign.This is a personal choice, and is not necessary in law.
Those who have an age, health or disability reason to not wear a face covering should not be routinely asked to provide any written evidence of this. Written evidence includes exemption cards.
