The Minister of Vaccines stated that after July 19, masks are still “expected” to be worn in closed indoor spaces.
This government Was criticized for canceling the mandatory wearing of masks in the next stage of restrictions, Prime Minister It is expected to be confirmed on Monday.
Sixteen 16 health charities urged ministers to support about 500,000 people. The Covid-19 vaccine may provide less protection for them. At the same time, more than 120 scientists and doctors also signed a letter on The Lancet, accusing the British government of “Dangerous and unethical experiment” and urged it to reconsider the move to abandon all restrictions.
But Nadhim Zahawi told Trevor Phillips on Sky News on Sunday that the guidelines set on Monday would stipulate that people should wear masks in closed indoor spaces, although the legal requirement to do so will be cancelled.
Mr. Zahavi: “I think it’s important for us to be cautious and cautious. The guidelines that we will develop tomorrow will prove this, including guidelines that require people to wear masks in closed indoor spaces.”
It comes from the minister of health Sajid Javid Tell the Sunday Telegraph that anyone who does not wear a mask in an enclosed space is “irresponsible”.
But Labor’s Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth said: “Given that Sajid Javid now considers not wearing a mask to be irresponsible, his government continues to implement cancellations when the number of infections reaches 100,000 per day. The plan for mask requirements is equally irresponsible.”
In Wales, face masks must still be worn on public transport, the Shadow Minister of Education Kate Green Said she knew that the mayor of the Labour Party would also authorize them to control public transport, such as the tram in Manchester and the underground in London.
She told Sky News: “I hope they will and I believe that I think what I said is right, Andy (Burnum) has stated that in Manchester, this is what he will do.
“Of course I think that during the pandemic, I often travel on the subway and tram. Wearing a mask and seeing other people wearing masks is a great comfort. People want to do this.”
she says labor If the data supports it, we support the lifting of coronavirus restrictions on July 19, but some measures should be retained.
She said: “What we don’t want is to lift restrictions without taking mitigation measures, so that this can happen more safely.”
“For example, this is why we say that masks should continue to be mandatory in public places.
“This is why we say that there should be more support and requirements for public spaces to have proper ventilation systems.
“That’s why we say that low-income people who must be isolated must be provided with sufficient financial support so that they can afford it.
“So yes, if the data proves that this is the right approach, we do want to see the restrictions lifted, I hope, and the signs seem to indicate that it will do so. But we want to do this with mitigation measures. “
Mr. Zahawi also refuted a report in The Sunday Times that suggested that the interval between receiving two doses of the new crown vaccine could be shortened to four weeks.
“Real-world data, clinical data show that, in fact, the eight-week interval provides additional reinforcement in the protection of the two doses, which is much better than shortening the interval further.”
He said that the most severely affected by the coronavirus are those who have not been vaccinated.
