And since then many fans have been searching for masks and face coverings.

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.

But there are official club scarves still for sale, such as this cable knit scarf and this zigzag dress scarf and these officially licensed Leeds United products. DO comply with official regulations on face coverings.

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:
