Face masks on English public transport will be mandatory from June 15, the British government announced on Thursday, as a further 176 British people died from coronavirus over the past 24 hours.
Axar.az reports citing foreign media.
British authorities announced that the UK-wide death toll from COVID-19 is now 39,904.
At the daily press briefing, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced that from June 15, face coverings will be mandatory for people on public transport in England.
Shapps said that many other countries had done this, and the new rule will apply to buses, trains, tubes, aircraft, and ferries.
Mandatory facemasks will help protect fellow passengers amid concerns that practicing social distancing is difficult on crowded public transport.
People will be refused travel or fined if they fail to comply.
