Shoppers at all supermarkets including ASDA, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Tesco, M&S or Sainsbury's face new rules in England from today.
As of January 27 shoppers in England will no longer be required by law to wear a mask in stores and it will be up to individuals to decide if they wish to wear a mask or not.
These rules were in place already last year before Boris Johnson announced stricter restrictions once again just before Christmas.

While businesses are entitled to set their own rules and some may still ask you to wear a face covering, supermarkets that have confirmed their policies say they will be following Government guidance, meaning shoppers will be encouraged, but not required, to wear a face covering.
The six major supermarket chains let customers make their own choice after restrictions were lifted in England last year, before being brought back under Plan B.
Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said retailers, in general, will be asking customers to "be considerate to those around them when choosing whether to wear a face covering and to respect the decision of other customers".
The laws are different in Wales and Scotland, where required mask wearing will continue.
