Masks look to be here to stay as a poll showed three-quarters of Britons plan to keep wearing them on public transport. However, the PM and a series of his ministers have admitted they will keep wearing masks in crowded environments, urging people to use 'common sense'. Just 16 per cent said they would be 'very comfortable' being inside with people who were not wearing masks after Freedom Day, while 21 per cent would be 'somewhat comfortable'. Two-thirds - 67 per cent - are likely to keep wearing masks in shops, 72 per cent on public transport, and 62 per cent in theatres and cinemas. Some 32 per cent said they will keep wearing coverings in outdoor settings - although 61 per cent said this was unlikely.
