Sage member Professor Graham Medley questioned how much good wearing a facemask would do if 30% of the public don’t do the same
From next week, wearing face coverings in certain public places will no longer be a legal requirement
Sage member Professor Graham Medley said he would still wear a face covering when the Government ends the legal requirement next week – but questioned how much good it would do if 30% of the public don’t do the same. The chairman of the Sage modelling subgroup Spi-M told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘I personally will wear a mask to protect other people.
‘So I think that, without the mandation, then we end up with a situation where even if the majority of people, let’s say 70% of people wear a mask, will that actually do any good because of the 30% who don’t? I think that is something which still needs to be determined and discussed.’
