You no longer need to wear a mandatory mask at Heathrow Airport.

London, the largest airport in the UK, will continue to encourage passengers to wear masks in terminals, train stations and office buildings starting Wednesday, but masks will no longer be required. The UK removed the mandatory requirement for wearing masks at the end of January to ensure that public transportation and US stores are no longer required by law. However, Heathrow, which operates many international services, has maintained its rules until this week. Emma Gilthorpe, Chief Operating Officer, said: “We encourage continuous use, but the investment in anti-corona measures will continue to keep people traveling, although it is not always noticeable with the fantastic protection that vaccines provide,” he said. Heathrow also pointed out that airfields will not hesitate to restore standards if infections increase significantly or new concerns emerge. Those who want to wear a mask can continue to use it. According to the latest data from the UK Ministry of Health, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are the latest airlines that have relaxed their policies on this rule to prevent the spread of coronavirus when there were 109,802 daily outbreaks in the UK over the past 10 hours. Another 200 people died. If wearing a mask is required in the country of destination, passengers are required to wear a mask on an inflight flight. Virgin Atlantic has stated that it will change its policy on the use of masks starting today and will be a personal choice for customers and crew members in the future. The airline pointed out that it will only occur on services that are not subject to international regulations for this requirement, such as flights between Heathrow and Manchester and destinations within the Caribbean, such as Barbados, Saint Lucia and Antigua. Travelers are required to wear masks at the destination airport when boarding and departing planes, and masks will remain effective until at least April 8 on flights to and from the United States. For British Airways, current customers are required to wear a mask during the flight only if necessary for their destination. Jason Mahoney, Chief Operating Officer of BA, affirms the bill as “positive Michael O'Leary of Ryanair revealed that he wanted to see the end of this mandatory requirement by April or May, and at the beginning of the month, the travel agency Jet2 had already relaxed the rules for using masks on flights to and from the UK and Northern Ireland. Starting Friday, all travelers will be able to enter the UK without having to enter the passenger locator or undergo a COVID-19 test.
