Boris Johnson dropped a big hint that British people will soon be told to wear masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at a daily news conference at 10 Downing Street in London on Thursday.UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has given the clearest indication yet that British people will probably be told to cover their faces in at least some public places.
Face coverings are meant to help keep infected people from spreading the virus; their use alone is not considered effective in preventing people from catching the virus should they come in contact with it, so even places like the US that have recommended them have still urged people to maintain social distancing.
The UK government is still deciding whether to formally recommend the use of masks or face coverings in public. A representative for Johnson on Friday insisted that his comments on Thursday did not preempt that decision. While the UK government has not yet officially advised the general public to wear masks amid the coronavirus outbreak, many people in the UK have started to wear them and other face coverings. In Asia, since the 2002 SARS outbreak, many commuters wear masks on a daily basis to slow the spread of viral infections and protect against pollution.
