Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government’s chief Scientific Officer, has confirmed that the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) should be making recommendations on Tuesday about the wearing of face coverings in public.
More and more countries around the world are requiring or recommending that everyone wears face coverings in public. More details about this and why this is thought to be a good idea are here.
SAGE’s advice must be shared with the media and public as soon as it is finalised.
