Italy is set to lift the last remaining requirements to wear masks indoors after 15 June, the government announced last week.
Under current rules, FFP2 masks must be worn until 15 June on local and long-distance public transport in Italy – including buses, trams, subways, trains, ferries and planes.
Masks must also be be worn until 15 June in cinemas and theaters, hospitals and care homes, indoor sporting events and concerts, schools and universities.
Amid debate about whether or not to extend the mask requirements on public transport, health minister Roberto Speranza told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera recently that the government would “certainly be able” to end the mask mandate in cinemas and theaters after 15 June.
