Prime Minister Boris Johnson said his government is ready to advise a change in certain situations if the medical evidence deems face masks to be necessary in containing the spread of the coronavirus

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is seen during his visit to the Appledore Shipyard, on Aug. 25, 2020.The British government came under renewed pressure Tuesday to recommend that high school students in England should wear face masks, at least in communal areas such as hallways, after the advice in Scotland was changed.

For now, the advice of the British government, which oversees schools in England, is that face masks aren’t necessary. It points to a recent report from Public Health England that showed very few virus infections during the partial reopening of schools for younger students in June. The evidence from around the world is that children face less severe virus symptoms than do adults, with the elderly the most vulnerable to severe infection and death. However, they can clearly be sources of transmission and governments around the world are grappling about how school reopenings will affect the virus’ spread within families and in the wider community.
