Help prevent covid transmission (studies have shown wearing a mask or a face covering helps to prevent transmission of the virus).
Protect the most vulnerable i.e those with conditions.
Protect those who have not yet been vaccinated and are therefore at a high risk of developing long term complications from covid.
Reduce the imminent burden on healthcare workers.
Reduce anxiety of those needing to use these common spaces (supermarkets, hospitals, trains and tube etc).
