The announcement comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the end of all legal COVID-19 restrictions in England from Thursday.
According
to the British Government face coverings had been a "condition of
carriage" but now they will only be "strongly recommended" for
customers and staff, according to TfL.
Face
coverings will no longer be required on Transport of London (TfL) services -
including the Underground - from tomorrow.
They had
been a "condition of carriage" but now they will only be
"strongly recommended" for customers and staff, according to TfL.
TfL said
it "considered a variety of factors" including "the shift in the
government's approach towards living with the virus" and decreasing
infection rates in London.
TfL said
the enhanced cleaning regime that was introduced due to COVID-19 will remain in
place.
Trains,
trams, buses and stations are cleaned with hospital-grade cleaning substances
that kill viruses and bacteria on contact.
Independent
testing by Imperial College London has found no traces of coronavirus on the
public transport network since it began in September 2020, TfL said.
