Delay to face masks no longer required in medical settings
Legendary helpful member
Hi all,
Following this article in Murcia Today last Monday:
I've seen a further article in The Local.es with the following update:
"When will it come into force? This measure was expected to be approved by the Spanish Cabinet on Tuesday, June 27th and enter into force the next day on Wednesday, after its publication in the Official State Bulletin (BOE). But on Monday, Spain's Health Minister said the date would have to be pushed back as the matter wouldn't be addressed in the Spanish cabinet on Tuesday, adding that mask removal in hospitals and health centres will happen "as soon as possible"."
The Local's article can be found here: https://www.thelocal.es/20230626/covid-19-spain-to-scrap-face-masks-in-hospitals-and-pharmacies, but it's behind a paywall, so some may not be able to access it.
It looks like we have to wait a little longer.
Kind regards,
Kim
