Stop mask, on date will affect the number of vaccinated
The date on the stop at the outdoor mask will also be calculated on the basis of the percentage of the vaccinated population, taking into account the administrations for both the first and second dose. This is what we learn about the date that will be set to eliminate the obligation of the outdoor mask, on which an opinion from the CTS is expected next week. The main hypothesis is to introduce the end of the obligation at the beginning of July, probably Monday 5. Removing the mask, it will still be necessary to maintain the distance if you are not joined and in any case it must be worn in places at risk of crowding. However, fears remain about the spread of the Delta variant, in particular for those vaccinated with only the first dose, who would not be protected enough to avoid contagion.
