COVID19: The government will issue guidance stating that people will still be 'expected to wear masks in indoor, enclosed places' after the final step of releasing lockdown restrictions, Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi has said
But he revealed the PM will inform the public that they should continue to wear
However, Mr Zahawi's comments on Sunday suggested more caution over lifting the policy of wearing face masks altogether.told MPs he is"very relaxed" about airlines, train firms and bus operators imposing their own COVID-related rules, including on wearing face masks, beyond 19 July. And Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has also warned that lifting all restrictions in one go would be"reckless".
Meanwhile, on vaccines, Mr Zahawi dismissed a story in The Sunday Times which suggested the gap between receiving the two doses of the COVID jab could be cut to four weeks. "The real-world data, the clinical data suggests that actually the eight-week interval offers that additional fortification in terms of protection with the two doses, at much better than having the interval shortened any further," he told Sky News.
