Outdoor mask, with all of Italy white zone from Monday 28 June comes the stop to the obligation (except in case of gatherings). This was confirmed yesterday by the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza in a post on Facebook. “From June 28 – wrote Speranza – we will overcome the obligation to wear masks outdoors in the white area, but always in compliance with the precautionary indications established by the CTS”. But what are the indications of the Scientific Technical Committee? This is explained by yesterday’s note from spokesman Silvio Brusaferro. “The CTS – we read – in today’s session addressed the question posed by the Ministry of Health about the opportunity to maintain the obligation to wear masks in the current epidemiological scenario and believes that: masks represent one of the most effective means for reduction of the circulation of the virus; the epidemiological scenario is characterized by a stably and significantly lower incidence of 50 cases x 100,000 inhabitants in the 7 days indicative of a limited circulation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus; this will translate into a national picture that from the next week will see all the regions in the white zone “. So,” on the basis of these data the CTS believes that in the current epidemiological scenario starting from June 28 with all the regions in the white zone there are the conditions in the so-called white zones to overcome the ” mandatory use of outdoor masks except in contexts in which the conditions for a gathering are created (eg: markets, and, etc.…); that people should always carry a mask with them so that they can wear it whenever such conditions arise; the use of the mask should be strongly recommended in frail and immunosuppressed subjects and those around them; it must always be worn in healthcare environments according to existing protocols; the obligation to wear a mask in all means of public transport must always be maintained; the provisions and protocols established for the safe exercise of economic, productive and recreational activities must be respected “, concludes the note.
