With your headphones in, listening to your favourite playlist or podcast, it can be all too easy to miss instances of sexual harassment on public transport. But with almost all women being victims of some form of sexual harassment in their lives, it's important to be vigilant and challenge any wrongdoing you might see.
Do you still have to wear a face mask in shops, on public transport and other public places?
20.01.2022 - 17:42 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The mandatory use of face coverings in certain public spaces will come to an end next week.
Boris Johnson has announced that “once regulations lapse the government will no longer mandate the wearing of face masks anywhere”.
The Plan B measures introduced before Christmas to slow the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant will expire on January 26, and will not be renewed, the prime minister confirmed in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
That means that the law will no longer require people to wear face coverings in places like shops and on public transport.
However, the changes don't come in until next Thursday, January 27, once the restrictions have expired.
Until then, it is still a legal requirement to wear a face covering, unless you are exempt, in the following places:
In schools, face coverings are no longer required in classrooms.
Mr Johnson said the legislation around face coverings would be replaced with guidance and advice.
He told MPs: “In the country at large we will continue to suggest the use of face coverings in enclosed or crowded spaces, particularly when you come into contact with people you don’t normally meet – but we will trust the judgment of the British people and no longer criminalise anyone who chooses not to wear one.”
In Scotland and Wales, the wearing of face coverings in public indoor settings and on public transport will remain.
Mr Johnson also announced that people in England are no longer being asked to work from home.
The mandatory use of Covid Passes in large venues will also come to an end from January 27, although businesses can still choose to use them on a voluntary basis.

COVID passes and mandatory face mask rules to end in England
Covid passes both dropped.The measures were introduced in December to combat the spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus, but were expected to end later this month.As it stands, face masks are required in cinemas and theatres, and people need to show proof they’re fully vaccinated or provide a negative test when visiting clubs, indoor unseated venues with more than 500 people, unseated outdoor venues with more than 4,000 people and any event with more than 10,000 people.Those restrictions are all set to end on January 26, with Health Secretary Sajid Javid saying “we must learn to live with Covid in the same way we live with flu”.Today marks the start of the next chapter in our fight against Covid-19. The data shows Omicron is in retreat, but it’s not the end of the road.The best step we can all take is to get vaccinated and I want to thank the staff, volunteers and everyone who’s come forward so far.
