Stronger guidance on wearing masks is being planned in case coronavirus hospitalisations keep rising....but we all know it's not going to be guidance, don't we?
Ministers are now concerned by falling compliance in supermarkets, trains and buses amid rising infection levels. Yesterday there were another 37,622 Covid cases and 147 deaths. There are also 8,098 patients in hospital with the virus – a six-month high and a rise of 6 per cent in a week.
No doubt the Met Police can't wait to act like their Aussie counterparts...
Although government sources insist a mask mandate is not imminent, the fact it is being considered will concern Tory backbenchers.Not enough to actusally do anything, I expect. They proved supine enough on everything else, they aren't going to rebel over this.
They are already angry at being asked to renew the emergency Covid powers that allow ministers to impose restrictions.
Yoda says 'Angry they maybe, but ineffectual they also are, mmmm...'
