Guidance on wearing face coverings

Guidance on wearing face coverings

Wearing a face covering may no longer a legal requirement, but it is still strongly recommended that individuals wear face coverings in health and social care settings including community pharmacies, as well as on public transport and other enclosed indoor settings.

Further information on the latest guidance, how members of the public can stay safe and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 is available HERE on the NI Direct website.

HSCB is also encouraging members of the public to continue wearing face masks in healthcare settings and the social media cards below can used on your social media channels / website to promote the continued wearing of face coverings to members of the public in your community pharmacy.

• Social Media Card 1
• Social Media Card 2
• Social Media Card 3

In light of the most recent COVID-19 guidance, available on NI Direct, pharmacy teams may wish review the COVID-19 signage, posters and information displayed in the pharmacy to ensure it reflects the measures they wish to maintain in their setting.
