The days of the obligation to wear a mask indoors are numbered.

This is indicated by the latest proposal of the Report on Alerts, Preparation and Response Plans of the National Health System.

Dated March 31, 2022, the document to which EL MUNDO has had access recommends that the use of the mask

remain mandatory only

in three situations:

  • Workers and visitors of healthcare centers and people admitted when they are in shared spaces outside their room.

  • Workers and visitors in shared areas in social-health centers

  • Transport.

The document advises

"not to use the mask by students in the school environment"

.

On the other hand, the text indicates that a

"responsible use of the mask" must be made in

:

  • Vulnerable population in any situation in which they have prolonged contact with people at a distance of less than 1.5 meters.

  • Teachers with vulnerability factors.

  • In the workplace, whenever the work must be carried out at an interpersonal distance of less than 1.5 meters and adequate ventilation of the space cannot be guaranteed.

  • In the family environment, gatherings of friends and private celebrations.

  • In closed spaces for public use where people pass through, such as shops (shopping centers, supermarkets or small businesses);

    closed spaces in which people spend time without eating or drinking (cinemas, theaters, concert halls, museums, etc.) and in closed spaces in which people spend time eating and drinking (bars, restaurants, entertainment venues night...).

Although there are no certainties about when the document will be evaluated by the autonomous communities, it is possible that it will be considered at the next

Interterritorial Health Council, which will be held on April 6 in Toledo

.

Last week, when he announced the holding of the meeting in his region, the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, was already confident that from that day on, a "more relative" use of the mask would begin. and start "a positive dynamic".
