Legal restrictions on wearing masks, the ‘rule of six’ indoors and the ban on nightclubs opening will all go from July 19. But in a major shift, Boris Johnson will tighten advice on Covid passports, masks, vulnerable people and working from home compared to what we thought it'd say this time last week. It’s understood nightclubs will be allowed to reopen at full capacity without face masks - despite the tightened up guidance on masks below. Officially high risk venues will include large events where significant numbers of people who don’t normally mix gather together, without social distancing - particularly indoors, and particularly if less ventilated. Minsters who claimed they would remove their face masks are also set to keep them on in another U-turn.
