Stop outdoor masks from 28 June, ordinance signed: when they must be used anyway

The obligation to wear the mask outdoors will cease starting from next Monday, June 28th. The formalization of the new provisions comes with the order signed by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza. It was the minister himself who announced it during the ‘Cartabianca’ broadcast on Rai Tre. “I have just signed an ordinance which states that from June 28 the obligation to always use the mask outdoors falls. But you must always have it with you and use it if you cannot respect the distance and if there is a risk of gatherings” Hope explained. “The mask is and remains fundamental. Only 1% of covid cases are of the Delta variant: we expect this figure to rise”, said Speranza. “We have always let ourselves be guided by scientists, according to a line of great prudence. The numbers of the contagion are proving us right. We must continue with caution and graduality. I would not use the word ‘abandon’, the mask remains a fundamental tool” “The mask is and remains a fundamental point of our strategy in this context in which, in the last 3 days, we have had less than 1000 cases every day: we can allow ourselves some more freedom, we have taken a long path of graduality and prudence. this path, the numbers say it is right “, he stressed.” I think the Delta variant should be followed with the utmost attention. In the last check we did, only 1% of the Delta variant cases: we expect this given rise, because it is a variant more capable of infecting and spreading. It is true that our numbers improve, but we must not delude ourselves that we have won the game. We must continue this path with your feet planted firmly on the ground “, he reiterated.
