In the UK the Government stated this many times but was pressured to introduce the mask in certain situations like travel.

It seems the mask is being used as the justification for allowing air travel and while Vokes55 is more than happy to fly, as he sees the risk as minimal and that Crete is a safe island so is a risk he is willing to take, he could still spread the virus from the UK to Crete and to fellow passengers, which he is more than happy to do.

There is no simple answer as we all desire the freedom to travel, some can suppress that urge while others can’t and come up with reasons why they should be allowed to potentially infect others because they want a holiday.
213 Countries and Territories around the world have this virus installed,the idea you can stop the virus spreading when every country has the virus is mind boggling.As for face masks,after 15mins and you can chuck it in the bin,have a nice weekend.
