The Minister of Public Health for the Central Government, Mónica García, has called upon autonomous regions to make mask use obligatory in medical centres, too.
It will no longer be obligatory to wear a mask in the open air but it does remain so to carry one at all times whilst you’re out, starting this Saturday.
Only If things go well, obligatory mask wearing outside will be discontinued, and then not before the end of July or mid August, according to Minister Aguirre.
The Minister of Public Health, Jesús Aguirre, has stated that only when immunisation reaches 70% (herd immunity) will mask use in exteriors be relaxed.
The Junta de Andalucía, unlike other regions that have enforced obligatory mask use, insists upon a person carrying a medical authorisation exempting the bearer from using a mask.
The Mayor of Salobreña, María Eugenia Rufino, announced that since the pandemia began, the Town Hall has issued 950 fines for infringements to the present health regulations.
