advisors

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'who recommend' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'nowadays having face coverings' is the wordplay.
'nowadays' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'face coverings' becomes 'visors' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ad'+'visors'='ADVISORS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for advisors that I've seen is " Those offering pupil advice".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
