The requirement to wear masks in classrooms in England is being scrapped this morning as part of an easing of Plan B measures

The Prime Minister announced yesterday coverings in other settings, such as in shops and on public transport, won't be mandatory from next Thursday.

But teaching unions say the decision is "premature".

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says people will still have to wear masks on public transport in London.

He says "If we have learnt anything from this pandemic, it is that we must not get complacent and undo all our hard work and sacrifices.”
