Leeds United face masks and coverings: how to buy and where to find them as fans prepare for return to stadiums

Of course, if you are going to a game you will also need a face covering. Face masks are compulsory for fans attending a Premier League game and must be worn during matches.

Leeds is still in Tier 3, but it is hoped that both Yorkshire and Manchester could be back in Tier 2 by December 16, ahead of the Whites' clash with Manchester United.

It would mean that a few thousand lucky fans would be allowed to attend the match at Old Trafford, albeit with face masks.

The official Leeds United club shop is currently having a sale on kids' face masks.

An official 'Marching on to the Premier League' face mask is just £2.50 in the club shop, but it is only kids' size.

In June Leeds United released an official club face covering for supporters to purchase amid the coronavirus pandemic.

A tweet read: "After requests from our fans, you can now buy official #LUFC adult face covers from our online store!"

The coverings are priced at £6 on the club website and were made available in one size and colour for adults and are for personal use only.

They are listed for sale here.

Where else can I get a Leeds United face covering?

There are plenty of places selling unofficial face masks, including personalised Leeds United ones. Of course, these may not be official or licensed by the club so the club won't receive any of the proceeds from the sale and could get into hot water for selling unlicensed products.

Face masks are available both on Amazon and eBay for several teams including Leeds United starting at around £12.

What is a face covering?

In the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, a face covering is something which safely covers the nose and mouth. You can buy reusable or single-use face coverings. You may also use a scarf, bandana, religious garment or hand-made cloth covering but these must securely fit round the side of the face.

Face coverings are not classified as PPE (personal protective equipment) which is used in a limited number of settings to protect wearers against hazards and risks, such as surgical masks or respirators used in medical and industrial settings.

Face coverings are instead largely intended to protect others, not the wearer, against the spread of infection because they cover the nose and mouth, which are the main confirmed sources of transmission of virus that causes coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Where do I need to wear a face covering or mask?

In England, you must wear a face covering by law in the following settings:

On the concourse of a football stadium as you enter and leave for any stadium which is allowed to have spectators

public transport

indoor transport hubs (airports, rail and tram stations and terminals, maritime ports and terminals, bus and coach stations and terminals)

shops and supermarkets (places which are open to the public and that wholly or mainly offer goods or services for retail sale or hire)

indoor shopping centres

banks, building societies, and post offices (including credit unions, short-term loan providers, savings clubs and money service businesses)
