Italy’s obligation to wear masks in indoor public spaces, including schools and public transport, is due to expire on 30 April, however a possible extension to the rules is possible.
Italian health minister Speranza said however that a possible extension to the rules would be evaluated next week based on the “epidemiological situation”.
“The state of emergency is over but the pandemic is not”, Speranza said, describing masks as a “fundamental safeguard” against covid.
“We strongly recommend them on all occasions, even outdoors, where there is the possibility of gatherings”, he added.
