With reports of stricter lockdown rules being put in place to help reduce the spread of Covid-19, we asked Adver readers if they would wear masks outside. Some discussions have centred around whether there is a need for people to wear face coverings while outdoors. England’s chief medical officer, Professor Chris Whitty has indicated there may be some logic to people wearing masks if they are in close proximity for longer periods, like huddled around market stalls. Keith Neal, Emeritus Professor of the epidemiology of infectious diseases, University of Nottingham, has echoed this. He said walking or running past someone is such a fleeting contact the possibility of infection is incredibly low.
