Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said that wearing face masks is the new "shopping look" in a bid to encourage the public to wear coverings in stores.
The Sinn Féin leader in Northern Ireland posted a picture of herself wearing a red mask while shopping. She posted on Twitter: "The new Friday evening shopping look #FaceCoverings." It comes after Stormont's health minister said he is "unconvinced" that enough people will wear face coverings in shops without being forced.
The Northern Ireland Executive has agreed to make the measure mandatory by 20 August if 70-80% of shoppers do not comply voluntarily.
