Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to promote the wearing of face masks in crowded locations, particularly indoors.

The wearing of face coverings in indoor settings is no longer a mandatory requirement in England. However, to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Government expects and recommends that everyone continues to wear face coverings in situations when they are likely to come into contact with people they do not normally meet, particularly in enclosed, crowded or poorly ventilated spaces.
