Face masks have become so normal in Wales since the coronavirus pandemic started that it's now hard to imagine leaving home without one. However, people in Wales seem divided on whether face coverings should be scrapped at the end of March as planned while we see a sharp increase in cases of the virus.
Last month on February 28, Wales saw a relaxation rules on wearing masks in some indoor settings. It became personal choice to wear them in places such as cinemas, community centres, gyms and museums. Despite that, the rules on wearing face coverings in retail and public transport remained in place.
But on Friday the Welsh Government will have a very big decision to make. At the start of this month First Minister Mark Drakeford said that if the situation remains "stable" that all legal restrictions will finally be removed on Monday, March 28. That means it will no longer be compulsory to wear face coverings in shops, on public transport, or in healthcare settings from that date and self-isolation will not be required by law.
