Face Coverings Up-date 10/12/21

When I come to the MAC, where and when must I wear a face covering?

• When in communal or transient areas for example, when entering/ leaving the premises, when in the main reception area, in corridors, toilets and changing area.

Where are face coverings not required?

• Face coverings are not required in hospitality venues (Lounge Bar, Function Room) where food and drink are consumed. This is because it is not practical for people to wear a face covering when eating or drinking.


• During exercise i.e. in the gym, squash courts of sports hall. It is not recommended that face coverings are worn when undertaking strenuous activity, including exercising and dancing.


• When showering

Face visors, shields and transparent face coverings

A face visor or shield may be worn in addition to a face covering but not instead of one. This is because face visors or shields do not adequately cover the nose and mouth, and do not filter airborne particles.

Transparent face coverings may be worn by those who communicate through lip-reading or facial expressions. In order to be most effective, a face covering should fit securely around the face to cover the nose and mouth and be made of a breathable material capable of filtering airborne particles.   (Gov.UK, 10/12/2021)
