Responding to England's Chief Nurse's reminder to the public that everyone accessing or visiting healthcare settings must continue to wear a face covering and follow social distancing rules, Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, said:
"This is exactly what health leaders across the country needed to hear as we head towards the final coronavirus restrictions lifting in England as it will validate their intention to continue following the existing infection control guidelines.
"It is not too much to ask of those visiting or using NHS services to continue wearing a mask and respecting social distancing measures if it can keep themselves and those around them safe from this horrible disease."
