Cards that explain why it is difficult for some people to wear a face covering
In many healthcare settings, such as hospitals and GP practices, patients are being asked to wear a face covering or a face mask.
Some people find wearing a face covering difficult because of disability or extreme distress. These cards can help you explain why it is difficult to wear a face covering. You can print the card out or store it as a photo on your phone.
