Face coverings set to be recommended, rather than required, on TfL services
Rules requiring face coverings on Transport for London services are expected to be lifted, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says. They are currently a condition of carriage - meaning they have to be worn unless a passenger is exempt (even if many people don't do so in practice).
The change comes after the government announced it would be dropping all legal Covid requirements and because there are falling infection rates in London, City Hall says.
Sadiq Khan adds:
Quote Message: However, we know that face coverings remain a simple, effective measure that give Londoners confidence to travel, and following clear advice from public health advisers, TfL will likely continue to recommend their use on the network."
