Sierra remembers that, although we are in the “virus low season”, October is a month in which “colds will start and then the flu will come” so the mask explains, “will protect us a lot”.
A measure that he considers necessary today because society has relaxed. But above all, it points to the younger population who have acquired “overconfidence and a feeling of no importance.”

However, the head of Epedmiology of the Canary Islands Health Service, Amos Garcia Rojas, considers that, for the moment, the use of a mask should not be mandatory in the Islands -even keeping the safety distance- why Today’s epidemiological situation does not suggest that it is necessary to follow in the footsteps of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.
