Which law requires face coverings?
I can't see anything in The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 3) Regulations 2020, and the Public Transport requirement has been rescinded.
- LatteLazy 5y agoPublic transport requirements have ended in general. But TfL set their own requirements which are legally enforceable. They are staying as they're decided by the mayor. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-60038741 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-60038741 I think you want this law: The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings) (England) Regulations 2021 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/1340/regulation/3/made https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/1340/regulation/3/m... I don't think it's been repealed. But the Home Sec and PM have said it won't be enforced (as of last night?). But it wasn't being enforced anyway. So as I say, a massive fucking mess.
- iso1631 5y agoThat one expired Expiry: 15.—(1) These Regulations expire at the end of 20th December 2021. You're right about local rules applying to specific businesses (Sainsburys, TFL etc), I was thinking more England wide. To be honest looking at the cases in Scotland (where mask compliance from Sep-Dec was high) with England (where it wasn't genrally required and few wore them outside of public transport) I can't tell if the rules made any difference at a population level .
