FM: "The exception relates to the requirement to wear face coverings on public transport, and in certain indoor settings.

Given the current spike in case numbers, we consider it prudent to retain this requirement in regulation for a further short period."

FM: "We will review it again in two weeks - before Easter recess - and our expectation now is that this regulation will convert to guidance in early April."

Was their expectation not to do this today... several weeks ago? What happens if the sneeze tracking figures still aren't favourable?

Even the 'guidance' needs torched. There will be a hangover of a few weeks where certain folk still wear them as businesses want to be seen to be doing the right thing until the point where everyone just forgets then no longer cares.

Probably looking at May/June now before we get to the low levels of mask wearing we see south of the border, and even longer when compared to the near zero compliance in Scandinavia.

I would like to see evidence as to what protection masks are giving us given how high cases are. 

Probably The Best Covid Responses In The World in Hong Kong and South Korea must be getting a really leaky supply of masks these days.

Not sure why everyone's heads gone here. Most of you will not have been wearing a mask for ages anyway.

I've not bothered and very seldom do I get questioned.

I only wear one at work because I am required to until this tinpot regional council give up the soapbox.

Working in England the rest of the week, though, which will be gloriously mask-free.

I assume you don’t wear a mask, why do you care if others do?

Tbh as long as it's required for those working or visiting a hospital or care home it should have been free.

So another 2 weeks of this nonsense at least.

All to make wee Jeanie "feel" safer when she's in a shop.

There are really no words left to accurately describe the stupidity of this.

It will have the opposite effect, it’ll make wee Jeanie even more feart to go and get her bread and milk once this charade ends.

It’s all for show and an attempt to cover up another failure of effective public health messaging.

Review in 2 weeks means 29th March. What's the betting it'll be announced that the requirement will be lifted on 11th April - giving another 2 weeks for them to backtrack when we enter another inevitable spike.

I'm genuinely angry about this. It's not about the face masks in themselves. It's about the toying with us, announcing things them backtracking with absolutely no evidence for doing so. It's playing fast and loose with people's wellbeing, giving them reasons for optimism them snatching them away again.

There can't be anyone left who genuinely believes this isn't pure politics.
