LONDON: England heading to a mixed bag of rules on a face mask in a closed room, as a protection against the spread of Coronavirus, after London Mayor Sadiq Khan said on Wednesday that they would remain mandatory requirements above the city.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the face cover would no longer be legal requirements in the UK from next Monday when the limitation of locking was appointed, but those people were expected to wear them in a closed room.
He has received criticism because of this decision from scientists and medical officers, who want the rules for the mandatory face cover to remain in place outside July 19 as the level of infection from the Delta Covid-19 variant remains high.
“I repeatedly clarified that the simplest and safest choice is for the government to maintain national requirements for facial coverings on public transportation.
I am not ready to stand up and place Londoners, and recovery of our city, risky,” Khan said.
“This is why, after careful consideration, I have decided to ask TFL [transportation for London] to maintain the requirements of passengers to wear facial cover on all TFL services when national regulations change.” By keeping a mandatory face mask we will give London and visitors.
Certainty and trust to use what our city has to offer, while also protecting our heroic transportation workers and those who may be vulnerable and rely on the network to get around us the city, “he said.
TFL fell under the mayor’s jurisdiction for the British capital and Khan’s steps have been supported by City Authority and Business.
” This is the right call.
Keeping masks on the London public transportation network in the short term is a reasonable and proportional size as an opening country, which our members say to us will increase the confidence of their employees, “said John Dickie, chief executive of London first, a business group for the city .
Meanwhile, Wales renewed the locking plan on Wednesday and entered the line with areas contained from Scotland and Northern Ireland had decided to keep mandatory requirements for facial masks in its place.
“The face cover will continue to be asked by the law in the most indoor space – public and public transportation, except for hospitality arrangements, “Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford announced.
In Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said on Tuesday that the use of mandatory face cover would still apply to” some time “.
A British government spokesman Emphasizing there will be a shift from “Universal Peme Dictate rosy to rely on community responsibilities “.
“The guidance is clear that people are expected and recommended to wear masks when they come into contact with people who usually they don’t meet in a closed and crowded room,” said the spokesman.
The Opposition Labor Party said it was “irresponsible” to impose legal requirements to use a mask.
Meanwhile, around 1,200 scientists, including members of the government scientist advisory group for emergencies (SAGE), have urged Boris Johnson to attach the end for all legal locking restrictions from July 19, warning the decision to open “unethical”.
Writing on ‘The Lancet’, they accused the government in pursuing “unscientific” policies “flocks with mass infections”.
Some doctors’ associations have also increased to the government to maintain the face cover requirements for legal requirements.
But the government holder is with vaccination now with accelerated speed, this is the best time to unlock the economy ahead of the winter months when the deadly virus will have a “profit”.
Therefore, most of the UK is set for easy locking rules from next Monday, with various requirements on the face cover now expected in various parts of the country.
