Masks mandatory at all times
Watching so many people not wearing masks outside, is it not time to make masks mandatory at all times?
Why the contribution is important
Standing at traffic lights, window shopping or just walking in the street where pavements are too narrow to keep 2 metres apart, it is impossible to avoid the aerosol factor of Covid especially as I have COPD.

There have been too many blanket regulations already. Making masks mandatory outside would cover everything from a high street to someone taking a walk in a deserted park in the middle of no where.
Any further regulation needs to be backed by scientific fact that it will make a difference and limited in application to specific setting / places where it might do so.

I think at the moment it would be more important to mandate mask use in the workplace as the risk of contracting Covid is much higher indoors and when people are in the same place over a longer duration of time. Really amazing that this has not been done when it's necessary in so many other places where people are indoors for only short times. This is now what the BMA are calling for.
