Shopper kicked out of Sainsbury’s for not wearing a mask.

A SHOPPER was kicked out of Sainsbury's by cops for not wearing a face mask as supermarkets begin to ramp up their clampdown on Covid flouters.

The woman, who refused to show proof she was exempt from wearing a face mask while shopping at the store in Kent, was escorted out by police officers.

Heated footage has emerged of the woman challenging the officers over their request for her to show proof of exemption.

It comes as supermarkets have clamped down on people not wearing face coverings by banning them altogether unless they can prove they are exempt.

Due to coronavirus restrictions, covering faces in retail areas has been mandatory without a specific medical exemption since July.

However, there is some ambiguity in the law on the need to provide proof of it.

So multiple supermarket chains including Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Asda all announced they would start refusing entry to all those who failed to wear a covering.

Footage of the incident yesterday, which was posted on Twitter, shows the shopper repeatedly asking the two officers if they are doctors.

Despite apparently not having proof of the exemption, the woman brandishes a piece of paper which she says explains the law on providing it.
