UK Health Officials Urge Masks Amidst Flu Surge and NHS CrisisBritish health officials are advising people to wear face masks this winter due to a record number of flu hospitalizations and a historic crisis at the National Health Service. Masks are seen as a useful tool to limit the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19 and RSV. Some hospitals have reinstated mandatory mask rules in high-risk areas. The NHS is also dealing with ongoing strike action from resident doctors. Despite these challenges, flu and COVID-19 vaccinations are encouraged to minimize the impact of these viruses, especially as we approach the festive season.
