The UK government is set to tell people to wear face masks to stop the spread of the coronavirus

A couple wearing surgical masks walk past Evening Standard headlines outside Embankment Underground station, on 4th March 2020, in London, England.The UK government is set to tell Brits to wear masks outside the house, according to reports.

Boris Johnson's government has until now resisted calls to recommend the public use of face masks to stop the transmission of the coronavirus, saying it is not fully supported by scientific evidence. The World Health Organisation's original position was that there was no evidence to suggest face masks helped stop the spread of the coronavirus. However, the WHO has since said masks could prevent people with the virus passing it onto others, though they cannot stop the wearers from catching the deadly virus.

France's Academy Of Medicine earlier this month issued new instructions to French people to wear masks whenever leaving their homes, after originally saying there was no evidence to justify their use.Johnson's government is set to advise people that they can wear coverings other than surgical masks used by NHS staff, such as scarves and home-made masks, The Sun newspaper report suggests.
