Freedom or folly? UK's end to mandatory masks sows confusion

LONDON (AP) — For many, it’s common courtesy or a sensible precaution. For others, it’s an imposition, a daily irritation.

The face mask — a highly charged source of debate, confusion and anger around the world during the coronavirus pandemic — is now dividing people as the crisis eases.

Britain is bracing for acrimony on Monday, when the government lifts a legal requirement to wear face coverings in most indoor settings, including shops, trains, buses and subways. Donning a mask in many places will stop being an order and become a request.

Already, people are split over how to respond.
