SIR – Mandatory wearing of masks after the end of lockdown must be rejected. Face masks are vile, dehumanising devices. Nothing better exemplifies a continued divergence from “normality”.
When the majority of the population has been vaccinated, including all the high risk groups, masks should no longer be compulsory.
John Wainwright
SIR – There should be clarity about the law, which must be obeyed, and what is guidance, which we may follow at our discretion (“Schools told they cannot force pupils to wear masks,” report, February 25). Currently even policemen are confused.
