If your just reusing them yourself then sure.Or maybe just leave them in fresh air/sunlight for 3 days ?
Sorry missed the start of the briefing
No dramatic overnight changes in lockdown
Stick to the rules over the weekend
Powis: 4.649 new cases over last day - but says spread of virus decreasing in the community.
People in UK hospitals with the virus down from 14,346 to 11,788 in last week
Eustice: 31,241 total deaths in all settings - up 626 from yesterday.
Testing still below daily 100,000 target, at 97,029
Eustice: Says day-to-day fluctuations in testing numbers is normal, but important to have "ambitious" targets.
The government has failed to hit its 100k target for several days in a row and plans to up that goal to 200,000.
Powis: 'R number' will vary from place to place and at different times, but vital to keep it below 1 to avoid exponential growth of virus
Eustice: McDonald's drive-ins "made for" social distancing, expects more such fast food businesses to reopen outlets in coming weeks
Powis: Health authorities will start to publish data on people with autism and mental health problems who've died with the virus.
Why are we still sending positive patients into care homes ? We are testing them before they go into care homes,outbreaks from discharges not showing up in data,lots of support for carers on infection control
Public must be 'realistic' over loosening of lockdown
More than a million food parcels delivered
626 is still a huge number,please stick to the rules people
Don't know what the big deal is about reusing a mask. The virus cannot stand temperatures about 75C for very long, so just stick thing in the oven at say 90C for an hour and everything is dead as disco.Ha, unfortunately not. Give me a few minutes, I'll try and find the part and post it here.
Here we go - download and start at 35 mins.

Touchy-freely post of the day :-(Pretty much the entire contents of the old peoples home across the road from me are having a nice sit down and chat outside today for VE day, about 20 of them. Clearly they have "attempted" social distancing by putting the chairs apart from each other, but they are realistically about 2 feet from each other and all leaning in to hear what the person next to them is saying. Luckily there hasn't been any news of care homes being an issue in this pandemic so it should all be fine...
So we are now adopting a policy that Singapore, Korea, NZ and others implemented at the beginning.14 day quarantine suggested now.
Which is good but rather late.
However this will spell disaster for the aviation and tourism sector, a sector the government is consistently ignoring.
Nobody will booking late summer breaks now.

Yet if they were widely available they would be made compulsory in particular situations. Just like they are in one or two other countries.No it is soap that kills the virus,this is why they don't want the public to have them as there are many downsides in the handling ,cleaning and reusing them that makes them not much better than useless
We also probably overestimate the number of people who'd want to visit even with no quarantine. If you are from Australia would you want to leave your relatively safe country to come to the UK.Correct only in this stupid country
You couldn't make it up
Coming in at the end of the month.14 day quarantine suggested now.

You're right, nobody would notice if it's in Buxton ;)Coming in at the end of the month.
Why not today.
And who makes sure people do it ?
Hey, we quarantined a couple of coach loads early days out of 18 million .Correct only in this stupid country
You couldn't make it up
Siren voices - here's Dr John
"Ten reasons why I believe that it is wrong to continue with lockdown and why we should start to reverse it immediately and rapidly."
1. You cannot understand the significance of this virus simply by looking at the raw death figures
2. The policy response to the virus has been driven by modelling of Covid – not other factors
3. We don’t know if lockdown is working
4. We should ease the lockdown to save lives
5. Lockdown is not sustainable
6. Lockdown directly harms those most likely to be affected by coronavirus
7. Lockdown directly harms those who will be largely unaffected by coronavirus
8. The health service has not been overwhelmed nor likely to be
9. The virus is almost certainly not a constant threat
10. People can be trusted to behave sensibly"

Heathrow only started trialing, yes.. TRIALING, temperature checks on passengers a few days ago. Several months late. It’s a shambles. This country is a disgrace.14 day quarantine suggested now.

not even going to be proper quarentine in that sense, its fly in and go to you destination and stay in for 14 days and there MAY be spot checks, they need to open up local hotels at airports and force quarantine not play at itHeathrow only started trialing, yes..

It would appear so. The horse is long gone from the stable now though.So we are now adopting a policy that Singapore, Korea, NZ and others implemented at the beginning.
