Coronavirus: Who should wear a face mask or face covering?

Coronavirus: Who should wear a face mask or face covering?
Many of the UK's secondary school pupils will have to wear face coverings when they return for the autumn term. The rules differ slightly around the country. What are the face covering rules in schools? In Scotland and Northern Ireland, secondary school pupils will have to wear face coverings between lessons from 31 August. The Scottish government says all pupils over the age of 12 should wear face coverings in corridors and communal areas. However, they will not have to wear them in classrooms. On school buses, everyone over the age of five will have to wear face coverings. The advice is similar in Northern Ireland, where the education minister said guidance on face coverings would be updated to include wearing them in the corridors of post-primary schools. In England, secondary schools will have the ''discretion'' to require face coverings in communal areas, where social distancing is not possible. This will not include in classrooms during lessons. What about in shops? Do face coverings work?

Chinese authorities have encouraged people in the city of Wuhan to wear surgical masks in public to help curb the spread of the new coronavirus. The question is: do they work? Many infectious disease specialists say the cheap disposable masks, which cover the nose and mouth, may help prevent the spread of infections if they are worn properly and used consistently. But there isn’t much high-quality scientific evidence on their effectiveness outside health care settings, experts say. Most of the best studies, which are randomized controlled trials, focused on how well surgical masks protect health care workers in hospitals from picking up infections from sick patients, and found that consistent use of them helped.
