Letter: Extended mask wearing will hamper the recovery

Published 4 May 2021

From Bryan Simmons, Bratton, Wiltshire, UK

Those of us who wear glasses can suffer badly from lenses steaming up while wearing a face mask 6 March, p 10. It is a nuisance when doing something necessary like shopping. Given the talk of masks being required until 2022, I certainly wouldn’t pay to go to a concert, the theatre or a museum if I could only see a blur. So, when these places reopen, many of us wouldn’t want to go if masks are still mandatory.
