Closed Keep face masks mandatory for public transport after the lifting of restrictions

Closed on

The Prime Minister wants to lift Covid-19 restrictions on July 19th, removing the requirement to wear face coverings except in hospitals and other health related venues. This requirement must be retained for all public transport.

Removing the requirement to wear a face covering on public transport could put thousand of workers at risk. Buses and trains are, in effect, indoor venues as the flow of fresh air cannot be guaranteed. The Government must keep face masks mandatory for all public transport.
