In Wales, masks are still legally required on public transport and in all public indoor areas apart from pubs and restaurants
However, this has not led to big differences in the level of infections. The rates of Covid cases have been similar across the UK during the pandemic.Health Secretary Sajid Javid warned on Wednesday that the reintroduction of Covid restrictions in England would be more likely if people "don't wear masks when they really should." He said this included "really crowded" places and those "with lots of people that they don't normally hang out with".
Health Minister Maggie Throup told MPs: "We believe that people can make informed choices. And I think as people see the levels [of cases] rising, then they will look at the guidance again and perhaps make decision to wear their face coverings in more venues." The government was warned that keeping compulsory face masks could lead to £4bn in lost revenues for the hospitality and events sector,While Mr Javid has been encouraging people to wear masks in crowded places, most MPs from his party have been sitting on the packed green benches in the House of Commons without masks.Few MPs on the Conservative benches have been wearing masks in the Commons
Of course which shows the vast majority wore them out of peer pressure or they would still be wearing them now
I work as a support worker and ive had all my jabs including flu and covid booster. I continue to wear a mask indoors shops etc and sanitize my hands regularly. I have a duty of care to protect my service users and family/friends and myself from this virus. I've been lucky!
I personally don’t think mask wearing should be mandated. Sketchy whether it makes a difference and for centuries we haven’t worn masks every time a new illness appears. It actually damages social communication functions and is generally futile. Why bother…
Pointless, as the answer is yes.
I think so and they are utterly feckless.
Yes
Just walk down the road or go into a shop ...so much for investigative reporting
Yes, students will only wear a mask if told to - where is the personal responsibility in that and clearly if they can wear a mask by being told they can wear without to make the classroom safer for all
Commentators are using Wales as an example of why mask wearing shouldn't be mandatory. Wales has a high infection rate, mask wearing is still mandatory. What they fail to point out is that a large number of people don't cover their nose when wearing a mask defeating the purpose.
They do nothing get rid
Yes .
Obviously, the government said that was an option. If you have 2 options and one of them is uncomfortable, people tend to pick the comfortable one. 🙄 (I am using all the time)
Most definitely. In my job in retail we have noticed that fewer and fewer people are wearing masks.
🤣😂😆😂🤣😄😁😆😂🤣😂 Sorry..🤭Yes..😶😷😵😵😵😵😵🇬🇧👍😃🙄
Give it a rest. Whoever want to, does. Others don't.
Yes here is Zambia
Mask is the key to fight infection, we should all learn from Japan.
Yes.
Yes. Because they don’t work
Yes here in the US
Yes
Mask wearing has collapsed.
I fucking hope so
Well, durrrrr.

One thing is sure in life and that is death, it comes to us all.
Other questions the BBC will ask: Does the earth orbit the sun? Is water wet?
What a daft question?
In England, YES
Yeah
How is that even a question, have you been anywhere lately?
Thank you！
Wales and Scotland have a mask mandate law and yet cases are rising to high levels, can someone explain why wearing masks in these two countries is failing so badly ?
Behold the press mask scaremongering has begun
Yes because they are learning to live with covid and not being bullied by mass hysteria
I've never stopped and the vast majority stopped months ago
If a type IIR mask cannot stop you smelling a fart how is going to stop you contracting a virus?
Yes, no intention of wearing one again either.
Mask wearing has become like spot the ball. You've no chance of finding one. No wonder Covid is on the rise.
CTSIan Yes! And stop pushing for them to come back
Fresh air all the way ...
Who or what is driving these foolish comments. The bbc needs to enter the real world
Yes. (I’ve forgotten the last time I wore one)
When the police didn't wear masks during the pandemic it must have killed thousands of them....not
What’s a mask?
Yes and on the biggest germ spreaders public transport, all packed into a tiny space upto 100 on a Double Decker bus breathing in the same stale air .
Hate hate hateeeeeeeee face masks dumbbbb
What a stupid question!
Conservatives 0%
Stop banging on about bloody masks. Jesus.
Yes
Have a look inside House of Parliament
Why do we have to be told wear a masks you stay save others stay safe its not rocket science.
I’ve been called a sheep for wearing a mask in the supermarket. I wear mine because I have a severely disabled child who is extremely high risk of dire consequences of covid.
Depends where you are and what age. In York majority of people 30+ are wearing masks on buses/trains/supermarkets. Under 30s majority not wearing masks. In Immingham near Grimsby majority of all ages are not wearing masks on buses etc.
Not in France! It’s not that difficult really🤦🏻♀️
As it became no longer compulsory, I grew to like my face again, I grew to liking seeing others people faces again, people have such wonderful smiles and it should not be hidden.
YES.
I see the face nappie brigade is out in full force 🙄
But my fans want to see my face 😊
Hardly anybody in shops especially 😷
Yes i think people are wearing them less often because we have been vaccinated and we were told this would prevent severe covid in 99.9% of us and it would be flu like, if that. I had it, October. Luckily, mild even though in a CEV category. Confused science and politics.
Pointless question. Of course yes.
In London only few wear it in the tube. No that TfL cares anyway
EndUKLockdown1 Good. Those shitty pointless things doing more damage to the environment than good. Covid has turned sane people mental.
