Many employers face multiple dilemmas on 19 July if the promised lifting of the final coronavirus restrictions happens as planned – a significant one of which is whether employees and customers will still be required to wear face coverings indoors once they are no longer mandatory.
The World Health Organization has still advised that masks should remain mandatory on public transport, in shops and in crowded places, however as part of the final lifting of restrictions in England expected later this month, the government will end its mask mandate and instead suggest individuals decide for themselves when it’s appropriate to cover up.
People Management spoke to experts, including Nick Wilson, for advice on the continued use of face coverings in the workplace.
