Make face coverings mandatory for indoor or enclosed spaces outside the home.
If the government want to unlock the country then yes, masks are a vital part of that. However being advisory on masks is not strong enough language when they have been dismissed so readily for the past 8 weeks by the government & press. They must be made mandatory for all indoor & enclosed spaces.
The Royal Society, that informs the gov, reported that cloth-based face coverings almost completely eliminated the emission of particles in some cases.
In 24 hrs I've seen..
Buses full of people not masked.
Shop workers not masked.
Shoppers not masked.
Advice alone isn't working. Advice can be dismissed.
When lives are at stake it should not be left to the individuals choice.
A choice which could endanger those around them.
There should be no choice.
Make it mandatory in enclosed spaces.
