The Daily Telegraph’s lead says government plans to require secondary school pupils in England to wear face masks in classrooms were met with a “backlash” after a drop in the country’s daily Covid cases. It says top Conservative MPs, one of the government’s scientific advisors, charities and parent groups have warned of the long-term impact of masks on childrens’ mental health. Ex Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith tells the paper that current data shows we must “hold our nerve” and imposing masks in classrooms is “premature”.
