Rules on face masks could be changed next month – health secretary

UK

The government could change the rules around mask wearing next month, the health secretary has told Sky News.

Matt Hancock said ministers “haven’t ruled that out” as part of step four of England’s roadmap for easing COVID-19 restrictions on 21 June.

The wearing of face coverings in a range of settings, including in shops and on public transport, has been required since last summer.

Mr Hancock also said those aged 35 and over will be offered their coronavirus vaccine “pretty soon”.
