The airlines announced that masks will only be important when a destination has its own rules and regulations such as Italy or the US. It also said it would ease the rules with time starting from flights to the Caribbean. As the requirement to wear a face mask has been abolished in the home country, Virgin Atlantic announced that it is entirely the choice of the passenger to cover the face on board where international rules around masks vary.
