Description

NHS leader Daniel Elkeles suggests wearing masks in public to prevent the spread of flu, as a particularly nasty strain is circulating. Some hospitals have reinstated mandatory mask rules, and experts are increasingly calling for mask-wearing. However, not everyone agrees, with Downing Street and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch opposing mandated masks. Despite the debate, the number of flu patients in hospitals is at a record high, putting pressure on the healthcare system.
