Humza Yousaf: Scottish health secretary says he is 'gobsmacked' and 'astounded' by Boris Johnson's choice not to wear a mask while visiting a hospital

Scotland’s health secretary Humza Yousaf has hit out at Boris Johnson saying he is “gobsmacked” by the Prime Minister’s decision to not wear a mask while visiting a hospital in England.

Mr Johnson has been met with criticism after pictures emerged of him mask-less, interacting with healthcare staff at Hexham General Hospital on Monday.

They showed him walking around the hospital in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, meeting both staff members and patients. Some images showed Mr Johnson without his mask on, while others caught him wearing it.
