The PM has already said that the criteria for measures being reintroduced is whether the NHS can cope, and at present it is, because the vaccines are working.
Mask wearing is not effective. The masks we buy in the shops are not surgical masks, people don’t wear them correctly and those that do can be seen with the masks gapping when they should completely seal the face.
The concentration should be on stepping up on the vaccinations and monitoring hospital admissions and lengths of stay.

As was previously posted just over a fortnight ago when you posted the same misinformation…

Two different things.
The study showed that surgical & fabric masks kept between 65-80% of particles outside the mask - that is not "largely ineffective".
Anyway, instead of a study that involved 7 people, how about one that involved 350,000 people?

Styczynski and her colleagues recently performed a study across 600 villages in Bangladesh where they provided surgical masks to some of the villages and cloth masks to others.
”When considering both types of masks together, we found a significant reduction in Covid-19. When we looked at each of the mask types separately, we found that surgical masks were especially effective in reducing Covid-19, though there was more uncertainty for cloth masks,” she says. “It may be that we didn't see an effect of cloth masks on Covid-19 because fewer people were given cloths masks. However, both cloth and surgical masks significantly reduced Covid-like symptoms, suggesting that cloth masks offer some protection.”
