The UK appears to have rolled back the mandatory use of masks and a week after saying the decontamination calendar will go ahead on the 19th without the use of such protective equipment being mandatory, now a member of Boris Johnson’s government comes to confirm that masks must continue to be used in enclosed spaces.
Nadim Zhao, the minister in charge of the UK’s vaccination process, said on Sunday that it was “important to continue to be vigilant” and hygiene. “It is important that we remain vigilant and careful and the guidelines that we will be giving tomorrowقدم [segunda-feira] I’ll show it.”
According to the British minister, “people are expected to wear masks inside the spaces, and of course to remain vigilant in their hands and face care.”
Lyrics Nadim Zhao comes just days after Boris Johnson said that wearing a mask will become, in the next phase of mistrust in the country, a matter of personal decision.”
He told the BBC that “guidelines” for health authorities would be “very clear on issues such as the use of masks” and that compliance would remain “in enclosed spaces”, in places where social distancing could not be guaranteed and “on public transport”.
Last Saturday, the United Kingdom recorded 32,367 new cases of Covid-19 virus daily, and scientists strongly criticized the message sent by the British government with ease of restrictions under the decontamination plan, whose agenda will be moved forward the next day 19 .
