Italy will abolish the requirement to wear mouth-nose protection outdoors from next Monday. “From June 28, we are leaving behind the obligation to wear masks outdoors in the white zone,” Health Minister Roberto Speranza wrote yesterday on Facebook. However, he said, this is always done in compliance with the precautionary measures established by the scientific council of health professionals.
Currently, all Italian regions except the small Valle d’Aosta in the northwest of the country are among the white zone with the loosest coronavirus rules. It is expected that from Monday this region will also be included.
Indoor masks still mandatory
In indoor areas or public transport, people must thus continue to wear masks. According to the newspaper “La Repubblica”, in restaurants also the previous rule continues to apply that the protection may only be removed when you are sitting at your seat. Outside as well as inside, the distance rules remain in force.
With increasing relaxation of coronavirus rules in Italy, politicians and health experts had also been increasingly vocal in the debate about mandatory masks in public spaces. The government had initially held out the prospect of mid-July as the date for an end to mandatory masks.
