The UK's cheapest supermarket Aldi has issued a warning to anyone who shops in its stores from today.
As of today, masks are no longer a legal requirement for shoppers entering supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl and M&S in England.
But despite this, Aldi has sent out a message to all of its shoppers about masks.

While Sainsbury's and John Lewis are both asking their customers to wear face coverings, supermarket chain Aldi has taken a slightly different approach.
It is now telling customers of its England stores that it is a 'personal choice' for shoppers when it comes to face coverings and has not specifically asked customers to wear them.
An updated statement on its website today reads: "From 27th January, in line with Government guidance, wearing a face covering will be a personal choice for customers when shopping in our Stores.
"Perspex screens, hand sanitisation stations and cleaning stations remain in Stores to use."
Its discount rival Lidl had referred media enquiries to the British Retail Consortium, which represents retail bosses.
Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC, said: "The Government’s decision to remove Plan B restrictions, including wearing face coverings in a retail setting will enable shopping to return to more normal experience for customers, employees and businesses.
"Retailers ask customers to be considerate to those around them when choosing whether to wear a face covering and to respect the decision of other customers."
Other companies are asking customers to wear face coverings if they can.
