FREEDOM Day has arrived with the majority of Covid restrictions in Oxford coming to an end today. Social distancing, wearing face masks, limits on how many people can meet and capacity rules are no longer legal requirements. Instead, people will have to take personal responsibility for minimising the spread of Covid. But despite the lifting of rules, businesses across the city will still encourage people to wear face masks. People travelling on buses in the city will be asked to wear face coverings as Oxford Bus Company says it will still urge passengers to do so. A spokesman said: “In line with Government guidelines we advise passengers to continue to wear a covering in crowded spaces and our on-board messaging will reflect this.
