Customers will no longer need to wear masks in Sainsbury’s stores from July 19, the supermarket’s chief executive has suggested. The supermarket boss said mask-wearing will be down to individual choice.

Simon Roberts said he would consult with staff on their views but said the decision to wear one would be down to individual choice.
