Face masks compulsory on public transport as UK further eases Coronavirus lockdown

As non-essential stores reopened and more students headed back to schools in England on Monday for the first time in almost three-months, a new rule also came into force in requiring people travelling on public transport to wear face coverings during their journeys. Under the new rule which took effect on Monday, people in England travelling on trains, buses and commuter ferries, as well as the London Underground, must wear face coverings, according to the media reports. The UK government said masks can be homemade, such as a scarf or bandana.
