Speaking in the Commons, Britain's Health Secretary Sajid Javid has updated MPs on new measures in response to the new Omicron variant.
Face masks will once again be compulsory in certain settings, including shops, public transport, hairdressers and beauty salons as of 4am on Tuesday. Staff, visitors and pupils in Year 7 and above are being advised to wear face masks in school communal areas like corridors and canteens. The same advice applies to colleges and universities.
In the Commons, Javid faced severe criticism from Sir Desmond Swayne who asked what evidence there is that tougher mask wearing policies in Scotland have made a difference. Desmond Swayne suggests belief in the effectiveness of masks is “mumbo-jumbo”.
