People in England won't be required to wear masks in shops, a British official suggested, comments that caused confusion after Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier indicated a tougher line was needed for face coverings indoors.

FILE - In this Thursday, May 21, 2020 file photo, a woman and child wearing face masks past a coronavirus related artwork displayed on screens in the window of the Flannels clothing store on Oxford Street, in central London. People in England won't have to wear masks in shops, a British official suggested on Sunday, in comments that caused confusion after Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicated a tougher line was needed for face coverings indoors.

Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove encouraged people to use masks while inside but stopped short of endorsing their mandatory use in England, saying he trusted people to use “common sense.” Face coverings are required on public transport across Britain except for Wales, but Scotland has also now made them mandatory in shops. They're widely used in mainland European countries that suffered big outbreaks but less so in in Britain.“I think that it is basic good manners, courtesy and consideration, to wear a face mask if you are, for example, in a shop,” Gove told the BBC.Lawmakers from the opposition Labour party called for more clarity.

The mixed messages from 10DowningStreet are entirely deliberate, it's a comms strategy they've used (consistently) from the beginning of the pandemic. BorisJohnson michaelgove
