Fernando Simón advances the end of masks on public transport for "next or the following week"

• Pandemic Why is this omicron 'weaker' than the one in Wuhan?

  This has been demonstrated in a high-security laboratory

• Pandemic Most of the symptoms that persist after suffering an episode of mild covid subside within a year

Fernando Simón

, director of the Center for Coordination and Health Alerts of the Ministry of Health, has indicated this Wednesday in Zaragoza that

in "a very short period of time, I don't know if it will be next week or the next".

In statements to the media, he recalled that it is not a decision "only" his, but that the initiatives come from the technicians, the autonomous communities and the Ministry of Health itself.

In this regard, he pointed out that "the proposals are already on the table, so it will be soon."

Simón has recognized that the epidemiological situation in China has "complicated" the decision a bit.

However, he has insisted that the message "is not that the masks are going to be withdrawn"

Well, in his opinion, "now it is up to each of us when we have symptoms, to use it responsibly. Also if we are vulnerable people. And to understand that our health also affects others."

Fernando Simón has participated in the round table 'Truth and Lies, binary code of democracy', held this Wednesday in Zaragoza, within the cycle 'New social contract: the democracy that unites us'.
