More of your thoughts concerning the wearing of masks to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Lynne Pennington: Exemption should only be for people with letters from gp.

Lyn Sisterson: GPs don't provide exemption letters, never have.

Sandy King: So nothing has changed and if you don’t want to wear a mask you just don’t and you don’t have to prove it? You have to prove you’re of a certain age to buy alcohol but you don’t have to prove you don’t have to wear a mask to avoid spreading a killer virus?
