British Health Minister Matt Hancock said that the government would not be recommending that people wear face masks in offices, after speculation that rules for work places could follow shops.

Shoppers in England will have to wear face coverings in shops and supermarkets from July 24 to help reduce the risk of a new pick-up in the spread of the coronavirus, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.

Hancock told the BBC that the government had looked at making wearing masks in offices but rejected the idea on the basis that if people spend a long time together, face coverings do not offer protection. “It’s interaction with people who you aren’t normally with, and that’s where the mask can be particularly helpful,” he said.The Telegraph newspaper reported earlier on Wednesday that the government could soon recommend face coverings in all public places including offices and other workplaces.

Asked about the report on the BBC, Hancock said: “No... It’s something that we’ve looked at and rejected.”

Why would anyone listen to a so-called and very mentally troubled Health Minister who has failed to comply with socialdistancing rules in the first place?

Don’t you mean ‘England’s health minister’? The UK has 4 health ministers. Devolution happened 21 years ago.

Something is wrong with him it's dangerous, why doesnt somebody put a stop to this?

Will it take a long time for countries to adjust and eventually adapt to the long-term requirements so our work force and economy is safe while we return to a new normal....or will we adapt quickly and social distance, ventilate, drive-in, take-away and eat, drink, play outdoors?

Clearly he hasn’t learned from the train wreck here in the US. wear your damn masks if you want to reopen. Why is that so hard for people?

What’s wrong with people? Get a reality check Mr. Heath Minister (what a joke) your country is in sad shape. It’s only a mask and not a hazmat suit.

God I’m good looking 🇬🇧👍🏻🤟🏿
