Manchester will maintain some measures when Plan B ends, council says
26.01.2022 - 22:56 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Some local restrictions will stay in place when Plan B measures are lifted across the country tomorrow (January 27), according to Manchester council.
Schools and universities across the city are expected to continue requiring students to wear face coverings while in corridors – but not in classrooms.
The local authority is also asking people to continue wearing face coverings in crowded spaces and on public transport even when it is no longer compulsory.

It comes as mandatory mask-wearing on public transport and in shops, work-from-home guidance and the need for Covid passes are set to be scrapped.
However, Manchester's director of public health David Regan said there is a 'disconnect' between some of the national messaging and the local approach.
He said: "We're taking a very pragmatic approach. We've already been in really good dialogue with our universities, for example, who are going to retain a lot of the mask-wearing measures on campus and when moving about.
"And we'll also be supporting our schools around mask wearing in communal areas. This is advice and support we give to schools, but our schools have always been really receptive.
"We're just trying, while we've got these really high rates, certainly until half term, to limit the onward transmission.
"Because as we know, if our primary school children are affected and it goes back into the household, that affects our health and social care workforce.
"We're trying to make sure, at a local level - and this is across Greater Manchester - we retain some mitigation measures that will help with limiting the spread."
