Face masks will continue to be law in Wales on public transport and taxis, and health and social care settingsFace masks will remain mandatory in some public places in Wales until COVID-19 is no longer a public health threat, the Welsh government has said.
The move in Wales is in contrast to that of England, where legal requirements to wear masks look set to end once the country reaches Step 4 of roadmap out of lockdown on 19 July.In Wales, masks must still be worn in taxis, on trains and buses, as well as health and social care settings when coronavirus restrictions are eased, the Welsh government said.
It added that"active further consideration" is being given to whether they will still be required by law in other settings, like retail.Mark Drakeford said:"We will need everyone's help to keep coronavirus under control as we continue to respond to the pandemic - this virus has quite certainly not gone away.
"We know many people are still worried and anxious about going out. We will maintain the requirement to wear face coverings in certain places - on public transport and health and social care settings, and others where necessary - to help keep us all safe."

Despite all the evidence showing that they are effectively useless. Even the SAGE superstars said as much at the start of the pandemic, it is all documented. Its not about public health anymore, its all about fear and subjugation.
