Overturn ban on face masks in schools and make them optional for pupils & staff
The Government clearly believes that face masks provide additional protection against Covid-19, hence the requirement to wear them in shops and on public transport. This ban restricts people’s freedom to protect themselves.
Forbidding children and staff to wear a face mask is clearly endangering them, especially those whose health is more vulnerable than others. There is also the risk of children catching Covid-19 and spreading it to their families.
