If accepted by Government, it would mean mandated mask wearing will no longer apply in schools, on public transport, taxis, in retail premises and in public offices.
It would also no longer apply to staff in customer facing roles, such as restaurants and pubs.

While I won't miss masks, it seems a little premature to me. I would have expected them to continue the requirement for another few weeks at least just to be sure that the numbers are staying down. Admittedly I'm in a high risk group so I do have a more cautious view of them than most.
