Secondary school pupils will not have to wear face masks in classrooms from next month, according to Gavin Williamson, but masks will still be required in corridors and on school busses.
Good to see this picture of Michael Gove ignoring the rules about indoor mask wearing. As you can see, he has set his to one side while talking to Benjamin Netanyahu. Can we all now stop this pointless virtue-signalling?
A Weimar court has prohibited two schools from imposing mask-wearing, "social distancing" and rapid testing of pupils, saying that these measures are not only unhelpful but are "extremely harmful to human coexistence".
Professor Denis Rancourt, whose paper reviewing research on the harms of masks had been viewed more than 200,000 times, has been banned from academic publishing site ResearchGate for discouraging the use of masks.
In case having to "sign in" – and showing staff your phone to prove it – every time you go to the pub wasn't bad enough, pubs in parts of England will now also force drinkers to wear face masks while sat outside.
Despite last month's return of children to school not leading to a surge in Covid infections, the DfE has announced that secondary school pupils in England will have to continue wearing masks in class after Easter.
SAGE have released papers today claiming social distancing and masks must remain in place for another year to avoid another wave of deaths this summer at levels seen in January, despite the high vaccine take-up.
Lockdown sceptics are akin to mass-murdering Russian dictator Joseph Stalin in promoting "antiscience" and causing "mass death", an article in Scientific American has claimed. But do its claims stand up to scrutiny?
A paramedic has written to Lockdown Sceptics to tell us about how through her job she encounters hundreds of sick people every day and hardly ever gets ill, despite never wearing a face mask before the pandemic.
Lord Sumption has warned that masks and social distancing could last for years, saying it is "unrealistic" to expect the Government to remove these "emergency" measures soon since the public has become so used to them.
