FACE coverings will be mandatory on buses, trains and taxis from Monday, July 27 in Wales.
"It will become mandatory for people to wear a three-layer face covering on public transport, including taxis," said the First Minister Mark Drakeford.
He added: "Our decision to make the use of face coverings mandatory on public transport is a combination of the fact that we know, as the economy gets back into operation, more people will need to use public transport to go to work and for other purposes, and when more people need to use a confined space then additional protections need to be introduced in order to overcome the fact that two metre social distancing will not always be possible."
All operators are expected to have the latest measures in place by July 27.
