No masks on public transport

A FINAL decision has yet to be taken but it seems masks will no longer being required on public transport in Spain from February.

Local experts are said to have endorsed the removal of face masks on buses, trains and planes but not in health centres. It is understood the delay in making a decision is down to the opening up of China and the lack of solid data from the country’s authorities.

Sources close to the Ministry of Health told a news source on Wednesday, January 18 that a decision had already been made to remove the requirement from March. They added that the situation in China had unfortunately delayed any announcement.

Covid­19 is under control in Spain and experts have said that whilst they are supportive of the move, caution was needed until the China situation was clearer.
