Boris Johnson says to wear a mask in queues and confined spaces

Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed he has a Florence Nightingale face covering as he urged people to wear one when in confined spaces with people they do not normally see.

The PM said: “I think that we should wear face coverings in confined spaces where we’re with people that we don’t normally see.

“If you’re somewhere where you’re going to have to stand in a queue, or somewhere where there are going to be people that you don’t know, you should wear a face covering…

“I’ve got an ample supply of coverings.”

Mr Johnson then produced a face covering with a Florence Nightingale pattern, but said it looks “pretty scary when I put it on”.

Rules on face covering in public differ across the UK.

In England you have to wear a face covering on public transport and in hospitals.
