When and where you can stop wearing face masks - as England Covid rules end tomorrow

coronavirus.Covid-19 began spreading rapidly once the new Omicron variant emerged.In early January, cases soared past the 200,000 mark despite Plan B restrictions that were put in place in England.Thankfully, although they are still high, the number of confirmed cases are much lower than they were at the beginning of the year.They are now down to 88,447 as of January 25, up from the previous day's figure of 78,317.Boris Johnson and his Cabinet are hoping this means the variant has now peaked, while some experts feel the changes still present a risk.As a result, restrictions that have affected when we wear a face mask and the way we act in shops, nightclubs and other public places are being lifted.So what are the changes?As the clock ticks down on Plan B restrictions, people can legally stop wearing them in public indoor spaces from Thursday January 27; Plan B expires the day before.The Prime Minister has already announced they no longer had to be worn inside the classroom by secondary school pupils and staff, but now people do not have to wear them in indoor public places if they so choose.People can still wear masks if they want to.Johnson said they now hope to be able to allow Plan B measures to expire and move to 'Plan A' Covid rules.The PM said: "The Cabinet concluded that because of the extraordinary booster campaign together with the way the public have responded to the Plan B measures - we can return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire."This means the end of NHS Covid passes needed for large venues and work-from-home guidance has already been scrapped.Venues can choose to enforce the use of Covid passes on entry to their venue if they wish to do so.People will be able to visit care homes

Masking up London schoolkids with quality face coverings is aim of new GoFundMe

They’re also more expensive than other options, resulting in both a time and a financial barrier for many families.

Health officials warn about counterfeit N95, KN95 masks

PHILADELPHIA - The CDC says about 60 percent of the KN95 masks that they evaluated over the last two years were counterfeit and not working the way they are supposed to. The good news is the CDC did compile a list of the counterfeit masks they came across and put it on their website with pictures and explanations. One major thing to look out for is that N95 masks should be Niosh approved. If it doesn't list that or it's misspelled, the CDC say it's fake. On the other hand, KN95 masks are not Niosh approved so if you see the Niosh marking on a KN95 mask then it's fake. These masks are also all business so the CDC says if they have sequins or a decorative fabric and they're marketed as a N95 or KN95 mask then they are not legitimate. Here's why this is important: "It has to be form fitting it has to be nicely tightly fit and if you do that you’re going to protect yourself," explains Dr.

A few boards said the masks they received were too big for some young children and said they were working on addressing the issue.

N95 masks: Where to find them for free

N95 mask, also known as an N95 respirator, is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles, according to the Food and Drug Administration.The edges of the respirator are designed to form a seal around the nose and mouth. N95 particulate respirators are arranged for a photograph in Hong Kong, China, on Monday, April 6, 2020 (Credit: Justin Chin/Bloomberg via Getty Images) According to the CDC, the mask is called an N95 because it is the U.S. standard that requires masks to be able to filter out at least 95% of very small particles — including droplets from the coronavirus. With such similar-sounding names, it can be confusing to understand the difference between N95 and KN95 masks. Earlier this month, the CDC updated its masking guidelines stating respirators such as N95 and KN95 "offer the highest level of protection".
