No masks

FERNANDO SIMÓN , the Director of the Health Alerts and Emergencies Coordination Centre recently made a statement about the wearing of masks.

He said he believed that the ‘mask’ will soon cease to be mandatory in pharmacies and it won’t be too long afterwards that they won’t be required in health centres either.

However, he did state that people needed to be responsible and said that anyone with a respiratory infection should wear a mask to avoid contagion.

He said in a meeting with journalists, he has vindicated the lessons learned from the pandemic and he stressed that a mask is not a protection against Coronavirus, but rather to protect the rest of the population from respiratory infections.
