ROSS Greer has hit out at BBC News over a tweet about new mask rules in Wales.

England scrapped its social distancing measures alongside most Covid-19 restrictions on today's so-called “Freedom Day”, despite quickly rising cases.

Scotland moved to level 0 yesterday while Wales is still in level 1, with plans to move to level 0 in early August.

In Scotland and Wales members of the public are still advised to remain at least one metre away from people not within their household and to wear masks in order to limit the spread of the virus

But BBC News wrote an article titled "Will different Wales mask rules confuse tourists?".

Green MSP Greer responded: "Hi @BBCNews, it's England whose mask rules are different, not Wales (or Scotland)."

While in England you will no longer be legally required to wear masks in public, in Wales, where almost all coronavirus restrictions will be lifted on August 7, the wearing of face masks will remain compulsory on public transport and in most indoor settings.

Last week Welsh First Minister Mark Drayford told the BBC that people arriving from England by train will be required to put on a face covering as soon as they cross the Welsh border.

“The people who run the transport system will make sure that people are aware that as they come into Wales different rules apply,” he told BBC Breakfast.

“If you travel into Wales by road now you will see signs that say ‘Welsh rules apply’. That will be true on trains and other forms of transport as well.

“I hope people will observe the clear advice of the prime minister in England, that they should continue to wear face coverings on public transport.

“Here in Wales the rule will be clear, it isn’t simply advice, it’s what the law will require.”
