Passengers on Eurostar services between London and mainland Europe must wear a face mask from today.
The train operator said a face covering should be warn at all stations and on board, in line with guidelines announced by the French and Belgian governments.
“Please ensure you have a mask with you when you travel,” explained a statement.
“Any type of mask is suitable as long as it effectively covers your nose and mouth.”
Those refusing to wear a face mask will not be allowed to travel, with authorities in France and Belgium in a position to fine those without masks.
Mike Cooper, Eurostar chief executive, said: “On behalf of everyone at Eurostar, thank you for your understanding at a difficult time.
“The situation is changing by the hour, and both you – our customers – and our teams are facing unprecedented challenges.”
He added: “We’re closely following advice from governments and health authorities in our destination countries.
“I’d like to personally reassure you that your health and wellbeing is our main priority.”
