Masks still expected to be worn indoors after 19 July - Zahawi
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Zahawi said wearing masks "will help the whole country".
"The fortification of the vaccine programme has allowed us to cautiously move to step four [of the lockdown easing], and the PM will say more about this [on Monday]," he said. Pressed on whether this was a change in stance, Mr Zahawi said: "We're moving from 'you must' to 'you are expected' to wear a mask in indoor spaces."
