Face masks in UK: Are face masks mandatory in UK?

What about bars and restaurants?

Nowhere in the UK has currently made it compulsory to wear a face mask or covering in a bar or restaurant.

This would of course make it very difficult to eat and drink out.

The debate around the use of face masks has intensified as more sectors of society and industry reopen following strict lockdown.

The latest to be allowed to reopen includes gyms, nail bars, swimming pools, and tattoo parlours.

Mr Johnson made his latest appeals during a “People’s Prime Minister’s Questions” online chat with members of the public from Downing Street yesterday.

Asked about face coverings in the question-and-answer session, the Prime Minister said the balance of scientific opinion had shifted towards accepting the garments could help curb the spread of the virus.
