Cineworld Action Group told in a statement on Wednesday: “Cineworld have said that they will not require customers to wear face masks unless required by government.

Ben Roberts, chief executive of the BFI, added: “On behalf of all film-lovers, and everyone for whom their local cinema is a central part of their community, we are delighted to see another step taken towards cinemas reopening their doors with the safety of audiences as the priority. The fact that through these guidelines many cinemas will re-open quickly and safely is fantastic.
