How long do you think people will have to wear face masks? Has any guidance been issued on this or will they be scrapped in June?

@Sparklingbrook

I bet there's loads of people that have to wear one all day for work that would love to be ripping them off their faces...
Yeah, whenever I go on site for work I have to wear an FFP2 mask. If I was a doctor or surgeon I’d mind less but I haven’t chosen a profession where masks are the norm. Yes I do remove them as soon as I can, I am not keen on them at all.

'I’ll be stopping wearing them in the summer for good. A year is long enough for me especially as I’ll be fully vaccinated.'

Oh, well if enough is enough then that is understandable 🙄. Have you information the rest of us don't or will you just decide you're 'exempt' when in places they are mandatory?

@Dementedswan you're not being selfish in the slightest Flowers

I certainly won’t be going to a cinema, theatre, live gig etc if I have to wear a mask.

Me too

Me. I wouldn't mind so much if I actually thought they made a difference Sad climate change is obviously not that important now. Millions of them being thrown away every day

I'm sure Patrick Valance said last night that going forward post the legal requirement (currently June 21st) social distancing measures will be mainly hand hygiene and staying off work when you are sick.

Social distancing and sanitizing I can live with. Roll on June to find out further info!

It won't be scrapped, rightly so.

Our wedding guests will need to wear them in June even though there will be only 10 adults and the chairs will be spaced out. Beyond ridiculous.

Sanitizing is fine, social distancing has a massive negative impact on the economy and society and has to go as soon as it isn't absolutely needed.
