Should the Welsh Government close down TESCOs?

Sun Dec 12, 2021 12:15 pm

Having visited Tesco Western Avenue this morning I challenged the security guard at the door about the lack of masks in the store staff and customers including the fact that his was mask was under his chin! I was astounded by his response. He stated that it was not mandatory by Law !!! it certainly is in Wales. he actually followed me out of the store still cherping on at me. The question is should Welsh Government close down Tesco (like the Cinema in Swansea) for a breach of covid laws and the obvious lack of risk assessment :banghead:

Yes they should.

Whereas I agree in principle, the guidance I have in my workplace is that it’s NOT mandatory.
The wording is ‘should’ rather than ‘must’.
I’m pretty sure it’s not law atm.

I take that back.
Just read it’s law in most public places; so I assume that includes Tesco.
Many owners (including Iceland) have said that staff will not be asked to challenge anyone not wearing one though :roll:

Write to the Manager, and copy your MP in. Don’t bother with Drakeford, as nobody wants that Jonah anywhere.

No its endemic no measure will stop it apart from death or herd immunity if Omnicron is mild we should all get it to achieve natural immunity which is way better than any vaccine or stay at home which the cost of is incredible to health and a massive increase in poverty of the working class.

They said that about Delta and are catching it again, but hopefully you are right and we are in the final stage of the pandemic they say they last three years which would fit with what appears to be happening.
