People in Great Yarmouth have shared a mixture of responses about whether they still wear face masks.

Before July 19, mask-wearing was a legal requirement in the UK for people to enter shops, pubs and restaurants.

However, since restrictions were lifted, some venues in the town have stated that their strict approach had been adhered to without objection, while others said that most people are out of the habit wearing masks, but will still insist on using other protection such as hand sanitizer.
