The i – Masks were ditched for the economy
The i has an exclusive story under the headline “Masks were ditched for the economy”. It quotes a Whitehall source saying the driving force to scrap mandatory face coverings came from modelling that showed events and hospitality industries could lose more than £4bn. It adds that ministers decided to lift the mask-wearing restriction despite scientists’ warnings that “baseline measures” should be kept in place to control a “resurgence in infections” and stop “super-spreader events”.
The paper features an image of fans at Wembley stadium saying a full capacity Wembley has not been ruled out for the Euro 2020 final.
