The mask in the Balearic Islands is once again mandatory outdoors

The face mask will be again mandatory outdoors in the Balearic Islands. This has been decided by the Government Council after the increase in coronavirus infections in the last weeks. This new restriction will take effect from next weekend.

Only a month ago that measure was withdrawn. At that time, the president of the Government of the Balearic Islands, Francina Armengol, said that “at the moment when it is possible to take it off without danger, there is no need to wait another day.”

At the moment, the active cases of coronavirus infected in the archipelago exceed 7,000 people and the cumulative incidence stands at 513.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days, from 290 to 7. By islands, Menorca is the most affected : 34 deaths in the last 24 hours and an AI of more than 1,000 cases.

Urkullu asks Sánchez to make the mask mandatory

Recently, the Basque Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, has asked the President of the Central Government, Pedro Sánchez, to reconsider the mandatory use of the mask outdoors, after the unstoppable advance of the fifth wave of COVID-19 supported by the arrival of the Delta variant. “I have been demanding the use of the mask until the population is vaccinated globally. “

This is how vaccination progresses in Spain
