Companies divided over continued Covid mask wearing

Passengers flying with Jet2 will not be allowed to board their flight without a face mask, unless they have previously given a reason for not wearing one.Industry body the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train companies, says that travelling by train is "low risk" and "any decision to leave public transport behind other parts of the economy would need to be based on the science".

"Rates of infection are continuing to increase and not only does mask wearing reduce transmissions, it helps provide reassurance to drivers and to passengers who are nervous about using public transport."Clive Watson, chief executive of the City Pub Group, which has 45 pubs across the south of England and Wales, says masks will be encouraged after 19 July and as much table service as possible will continue.

But Sainsbury's boss Simon Roberts says mask wearing in stores would be a matter of "personal choice" after 19 July. And the Westfield shopping centre group said it would "encourage" customers to wear masks. Among smaller businesses, Joe Hemmings, who owns two hairdressers in Bristol, says he'll be taking a staged approach to mask wearing: "To go from all of the PPE to nothing overnight is too radical for the sheer fact of peoples' anxiety and the need for precaution."
