Coronavirus: Labour calls for clarity over face coverings in England
It came as Mr Johnson was pictured wearing a face covering for the first time while visiting businesses in his Uxbridge constituency on Friday.
And on Friday Mr Johnson said"the balance of scientific opinion seems to have shifted more in favour of them than it was, and we're very keen to follow that". "At the moment people are hearing different messages from different quarters," the Labour MP told BBC Radio 4's Any Questions. Of course some will suggest that the position has evolved as the science has evolved. But perhaps something to consider here too; the economy.
Ministers want people to start embracing the new normal; leaving their homes, spending money and helping businesses get back on their feet - but yes with mitigation measures, like masks, in place. The World Health Organization says non-medical face coverings should be worn where social distancing is not possible.
