#NOTTOOMUCHTO MASK

The NHS launched its #Nottoomuchtomask initiative, in ‘a show of solidarity with everyone who wants to continue protecting themselves and others’ after as the remaining Covid-19 restrictions were lifted in England.

@Lovefilmnews wrote: “Given rising infection stats, means I will now visit fewer shops, restaurants, cafes, theatres, cinemas etc than if mandatory face masks and social distancing were still in place. So I’m pleased so many businesses are keeping measures.”

@petermgiller said: “I think this could be a really important campaign.”

#SUPERMARKETS

As Scotland watches England to see how things settle, supermarkets were setting the pace.
