England Drops Face Mask Rules For Salons

Masks will no longer be mandated in salons and barbershops in England starting Jan. 27. The country’s current COVID-19 rules, including mandatory face masks in public places, will be dropped, according to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

England will begin to treat COVID-19 more like the flu, according to the BBC. Johnson said it was time to "trust the judgment" of the public on the use of masks in enclosed and crowded places. Further COVID-19 restrictions, such as mandatory COVID-19 passports and work-from-home, will also be lifted.
