- In health centers, nursing homes, pharmacies and public transportation should continue to use the mask in Hego Euskal Herria, not in the other closed spaces. At the workplace, the final decision will be taken by those responsible for preventing the occupational health of companies.
The Council of Ministers of the Spanish Government has today approved the suspension of the compulsory use of the mask in closed places, except in the cases referred to in the previous paragraph. The new decree will enter into force on Wednesday, the day on which the standard will be approved.
The Government has stressed that school and work are not going to have to face masks, but in the latter case those responsible for occupational health prevention can take action.
Nevertheless, the masks have ensured that they will "continue with us", "especially as far as vulnerable people are concerned", and once again they have asked the public to act responsibly.
To make the decision, they have argued the "good response" of the vaccination campaigns and the "low risk" that represent most of the indicators.
