Mask mandate to end on July 19
The prime minister will reveal plans this week to ditch many of the Covid rules that have plunged the hospitality industry into chaos. From July 19, masks will become voluntary in all settings, and the requirement to scan a QR code when entering a bar, restaurant, hairdresser, gym, museum or other venue will be dropped. The government will scrap the regulations that require businesses to collect customers’ contact tracing details. The move will curb the number of people forced to self-isolate for ten days after being alerted by the NHS Test and Trace app – Sunday Times
