Covid precautions

[Scot22]

My understanding has been that a business can decide to exclude any potential customer and evict any they no longer wish to allow on the premises. Is this correct ?

If this is the case then surely legally entitled to ban anyone not wearing a mask or observing social distancing ?

For anyone slightly interested. Just found an article in Daily Mail online confirming that shops etc can legally insist on what they choose. If you don't like it go elsewhere.

Your question is a bit muddled, you use the term 'ban', if someone enters you're store without a mask, you would ask them to leave, you wouldn't ban them, next time they may have a mask and conform to the store's policy. Ban really is the wrong terminology. Purely on Health & Safety grounds lots of stores will insist on masks. Not protecting employees has consequences.

Our local hardware store has announced that it will still be insisting on masks being worn to protect staff and customers

Excellent. Seeing infection numbers are significantly increasing let's hope everyone keeps the same precautions.
