Masking in/around St Andrews?
Hello! Just want to preface the post by saying that as an upcoming international student, this sub has been invaluable to me in my preparations <3
I’m flying in for a 1-year MSc in September, and I was wondering what the general public sentiment is towards face masks in St Andrews?
I’m somewhat immunocompromised from multiple (bad) covid infections in the past, so I’ve generally just masked everywhere in public since 2020. I come from an Asian country though, and public masking is normalised here so no one bats an eye over it.
Understand from going through some other UK subreddits that masking is a rare (and maybe controversial?) thing in the UK now… I know I’ll likely stick out from masking everywhere but I’m willing to deal with that. My main concern is really if I’ll get any shit for masking from people at the uni/around town? Like would I be making a faux pas if i walked around with a face mask?
