Madrid (EFE).- The Interterritorial Health Council has supported this Friday the definitive withdrawal of the mandatory nature of masks in health centers, hospitals, pharmacies, so their widespread use in these centers ends, but it is recommended when there are symptoms of respiratory infection.
The Minister of Health, José Miñones, has agreed with the industry advisers in the Inter-territorial Health Council, a claim put forward weeks ago by several communities, including Madrid, which since April asked to eliminate the mask inside hospitals, pharmacies and day centers.
In this way, Spain says goodbye to more than 1,140 days of mandatory use of the mask in some area, waiting for the Council of Ministers to approve, foreseeably next week, the royal decree that will include the new regulation, already more flexible in terms of related to health and socio-health environments.
