11:10Now PlayingGreater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says the Government has "gone too far" in lifting the requirement to wear masks from 19 July, especially on public transport.
He says "freedom day for some will mean a loss of freedom day for others".
On Monday at a Downing Street news conference, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced there will be no more legal requirement on wearing face masks in shops or on public transport beyond the final stage of lockdown easing.
