The UK government is not considering making face coverings mandatory in workplaces, after France took the step on Tuesday, the health secretary has said.

Matt Hancock said the current evidence from NHS Test and Trace was that people were largely catching the virus when meeting another household, usually in one of their homes.

He told BBC Breakfast that while the government was "constantly looking at the scientific evidence", the amount of people catching Covid-19 in workplaces was "relatively low".
