He said: “Face coverings is a topical issue.
“You must wear face coverings in shops, supermarkets and on public transport and you must wear them correctly.
“I see lots of people not wearing their face coverings over their noses. They cover their mouths but not their noses.
“The point of them is to protect other people from respiratory viruses.
“You breathe through your nose so if your face covering isn’t covering your nose it’s not doing much use.
“Dispose of them properly if you are wearing disposable face coverings. We recommend that people use re-usable face coverings that can be washed and then reused and obviously prevents waste which is a good thing.”
