We are proud to launch our new #NotTooMuchToMask initiative today, in a show of solidarity with everyone who wants to continue protecting themselves and others after now that the remaining COVID-19 restrictions have lifted in England.

Plan B would see actions like
😷mandatory face coverings in certain settings
💉vaccine certificates
📢increased public comms
🏡and more home-working being rolled out.
Why wait for a crisis to happen before this action is taken here?
