Dragons' Den star Deborah Meaden has attracted both support and criticism after voicing her choice to carry on wearing a mask following the dropping of COVID-19 restrictions. The 63-year-old Somerset native took to Twitter earlier this week to share a photo of herself wearing a mask with a black cat on it.
Deborah wrote: "Me going about my business today and every day until I hear a Science based argument on why wearing a mask is no longer needed to protect those more vulnerable than me…#wearamask"
The Tweet from Deborah came days before most COVID-19 restrictions were dropped, including the legal requirement to self isolate if you have tested positive for the virus. Meanwhile, face masks have not been compulsory in England since January, although lots of people still choose to wear them for various reasons.
