“Let’s see if this month we can lower it completely and we can have a scenario that is much more comparable to other countries that have higher incidences but have made the decision to eliminate the mask based on their criteria and the advice of the health workers,” he added.

After insisting that the dynamics of the coming weeks are important, he referred to the Interterritorial Health Council so that it is the place where the decision is made at the right time. Sánchez did specify that it may be different, for example, not wearing a mask on public transport or in a meeting, but he said that he prefers not to anticipate events and that he awaits the advice of professionals.
