Has everyone knows that you now have to wear face masks on all public transport in The uk!

But did you know that certain people dont have to because of disabilities or certain health conditions.

Please find some exempt cards that I have found on the disabled peoples forum. I know that These work in the UK as I used them Yesterday to take my disabled son Joe to a Hospital in a other Town near where we live.

I am sure it will help other members of this website who are afraid to get out and about because they can't wear face masks or face coverings because of a health or disability problem .

Take care everyone. Stay at home. Protect the NHS and save lives

Yes its mandatory in England but here in wales it isn't.

For the disabled to be exempt in england then that's fair enough.

Good morning Catgirl1976

Thank you for your reply but I am sure that Wales will soon follow the England's lead on wearing face masks on public transport

Best wishes. Peter

I live in Cardiff and after contacting the Cardiff Bus people was told that at the moment it is not compulsory, the cards are a very good idea to carry though just in case, I do wear a medical alert band which states I have COPD which should be ok if needed.
