Covering Up. The evolving debate about face masks in England.

The Government has announced that it will make the wearing of face masks inside shops mandatory in England as of next Friday. Other parts of the UK are moving in a quite similar direction. It had already (as of 15 June) made it compulsory to don a mask when on public transport. It considered the option of making it a legal obligation when in the office, but decided against this. The essence of policy has, nevertheless, shifted a lot on this matter since the onset of the crisis. There is room for it to evolve further still.
