Outdoor masks, the question is ‘until when?’. The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, today sent a request for a formal opinion to the Technical Scientific Committee (Cts) on the modalities and terms of the permanence of the obligation to wear masks outdoors. The debate on the timing to stop this measure relating to respiratory protective devices not in closed contexts has been ongoing for days and has been ignited after France chose to eliminate the obligation, followed soon after by Spain. . “This will be the last weekend with the obligation” of the outdoor mask, said Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez speaking in Barcelona at the Cercle d’Economia. Sanchez explained that on Thursday there will be an “extraordinary” government meeting in which he will propose to eliminate the obligation to wear a mask outdoors from June 26. Prime Minister Mario Draghi spoke on the issue yesterday. he announced that he would ask “an opinion from the CTS” because “tell us explicitly if we can take off the mask outdoors or not”. The prime minister added that for now there are no dates regarding the possible stop of the use of the mask outdoors. From the world of politics a decision is being urged by various parties. To ask for the “immediate cancellation of the outdoor mask” is the leader of the Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni as well as the leader of the Lega Matteo Salvini. “Draghi asks the CTS for the ok to remove the mask, at least outdoors. Well, as requested by the League, let us go back to work and smile freely, as is already happening throughout Europe. I like it” said Salvini. the governor of Campania Vincenzo De Luca, who already yesterday announced: “We will maintain the obligation of the mask outside even in summer”, is completely different opinion.
