Why aren’t cyclists being told to wear face coverings while on the ferry. ?

The guidance issued by the Government on 4 June stated that cyclists are not required to wear face coverings providing they are riding out of doors and are not in enclosed areas.

Based on this guidance cyclists using the ferry are not being required to wear face coverings as they will be located out of doors on the main deck and able to follow social distancing rules during the crossing. All cyclists are expected to remain with their transport throughout the crossing. Any cyclist who leaves the main deck area to enter the passenger area will be required to wear a face covering.
