Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show, Mr Gove said: "I would encourage people to wear face masks when they are inside, in an environment where they are likely to be mixing with others and where the ventilation may not be as good as it might.
"I think that it is basic good manners, courtesy and consideration, to wear a face mask if you are, for example, in a shop.
"I trust people's good sense."
