London, the largest airport in the UK, and Heathrow Airport on March 16 will continue to encourage passengers to wear masks at stations, train stations and office buildings, although they will no longer need to use masks starting Wednesday. The UK removed the mandatory requirement for wearing masks at the end of January to ensure that public transport and US stores are no longer required by law. However, Heathrow, who manages many international services, has maintained the rules until this week. Emma Gilthorpe, Chief Operating Officer, said: “We recommend continuous use, but investing in anti-corona measures gives us the confidence that the strong protection that the vaccine provides will keep those who travel, although not always noticeable,” said Emma Gilthorpe, chief operating officer, as I said. Heathrow also noted that if infections increase rapidly or new concerns arise, airports will not hesitate to restore standards. Those who want to wear a mask can continue to use it. According to the latest data released by the UK Ministry of Health, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are the latest airlines to ease the policy on this rule to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the event of daily cases in the UK with 109,802 people in the last 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 board. 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 stated that it will only occur on services that are not subject to international regulations of this requirement, such as flights between Heathrow and Manchester and destinations within the Caribbean region such as Barbados, Saint Lucia and Antigua. Passengers are required to wear a mask at the destination airport when boarding and departing their flight, and masks will remain effective until April 8 on flights to and from the United States. For British Airways, existing customers are required to wear a mask on board only if necessary for their destination. Jason Mahoney, Chief Operating Officer of BA, described the bill as “positive progress.” 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, Jet2 travel agency 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.
