The Ministry of Health announced this Saturday afternoon that people without the complete vaccination schedule, that is, those who until now only have a single dose against covid-19, they must continue to wear the mask in open spaces.
The announcement came after reducing the rigidity of the measure and contemplating that cities and municipalities with vaccination higher than 70% could dismiss the obligation in the use of the mask outdoors.

In addition to this clarity, the Ministry of Health extended an invitation to continue wearing a mask to the population with risk factors. This is the case of those who have comorbidities or advanced age: so you have all the doses to fight the virus, if you wish you can continue using the mask in public spaces.
In addition to making its use more flexible, the health authorities also asked to take into account that the virus is not gone, as well as the importance of completing the schemes and receiving the booster dose.

“Vaccines are the most effective measure to prevent death and serious illness of covid-19 ”, recorded Germán Escobar Morales, Vice Minister of Public Health and Provision of Services.
The invitation from the National Government is that people who have not been vaccinated, completed their schemes or come for their booster dose, go to the vaccination points as soon as possible.
