Question
Will the Minister confirm if face masks are required to be worn at a religious services where food or drink is also served?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Mark Drakeford)
The use of face coverings is a legal requirement in indoor public spaces, including places of worship. It is a reasonable excuse for a person to remove their face covering to eat or drink, where reasonably necessary; for example if it forms part of a religious service. A face covering should still be worn when not actively eating or drinking.
