Masks: how long will they have to wear?

The certainty will come after April 20. From then on they will do the math to understand if it will really be possible to completely remove the masks from May 1st, the day of farewell to the Green Pass. The decline in infections, to get to eliminate them completely, should be clear and it is already established that they will remain in school until the end of the year. What will happen in the other sectors?

Among the hypotheses is that of eliminating them in shops and supermarkets. Instead, they should stay in the cinema, in the theater, in concert halls and on means of transport: it is possible, however, that they give Ffp2, now mandatory, surgical ones can be used. Undersecretary of health Andrea Costa explained that the places where it would be appropriate to extend the use of masks indoors such as means of transport are being evaluated.

They should still stay in the office and in the workplace at work. The confederal secretary of the CISL, Angelo Colombini, explained, according to what is reported The sun 24 hourswhich goes towards an extension until the end of June for the work safety protocol: a meter of distance between people and the obligation to wear masks, as well as to sanitize the hands. The verification will take place at the end of April with the data of Inail, diseases at work, and those of the trend of infections.

The Ministries of Labor, Health and Economic Development, in agreement with Inail and the social partners, have established that, even if the state of emergency ended on March 31, the rules of the 2020 protocol for the presence in offices and factories.
