We asked people in Suffolk whether they would continue to wear a mask if it becomes optional from July 19th.

Boris Johnson announced yesterday that it would be up to individuals as to whether they choose to wear one, but added the Government would advise people to wear one in "enclosed and crowded places".

We ran two polls in the area and in total, over half of those who responded to our poll said they would stop wearing a mask, while just over 40% said they'd continue wearing one.

A final decision on whether the changes to restrictions on the 19th July will go ahead, will be made next Monday.
