London City Mayor Sadiq Khan has told the government to make wearing face masks compulsory while travelling in London. While UK public health experts are not currently recommending the use of face covering masks as compulsory, while UK government’s social distancing guidelines do not mention face maksk, Khan is lobbying for wearing face masks.
Sadiq Khan said:
“The evidence around the world is that wearing facemask is effective. I'm lobbying our government and advisers to change their advice, and I want us to do that sooner rather than later. They are already reviewing this on the basis of our representation."
