Key health workers were struggling to get a reliable supply of masks and of decent advice on how/when to use them. A consequence of endorsing wider mask wearing is to increase that pressure.
Perhaps supply is finally ok?
Watching the maintained ‘official ignorance’ around masks has been weird.

But PPE isn't the same as the stuff people like me would be wearing to shops is it?
Initially your argument makes a little bit of sense but then when you think, hang on, how many infections might've been prevented by forcing public mask use four months ago - the healthcare system would've been under less pressure anyway! So it's again back into the "makes no fucking sense" court.
hippy
But FOUR MONTHS of lockdown have just gone by and they didn't think masks should be compulsory then? I just don't get it.
