As of Thursday, no one can leave the house without masks, but according to the Minister of Health, the exact instructions for its use will be published today.
Invited last night to "Opinion", Ogerta Manastirliu stated that the mask is mandatory, but not in all cases, for example during the time when we are performing physical activity.
"What is today a universally accepted and scientifically accepted fact, in scientific studies supported is that: Masks or protective barriers reduce the spread of coronavirus when they are associated with the measure of social distancing and those of personal hygiene. Medical and surgical masks, are masks used by medical personnel, by the one who is ill or the one who has to serve a sick person.
The mask we are talking about today is a protective barrier made of textile that prevents the spread of splashes and is accompanied by a social distancing. The mask will be worn anywhere outside the home. When you are doing physical activity you should not wear a mask, but you should always have the mask with you. "The mask should be kept with you and should be used immediately as soon as you leave the house," said the minister.
Among other things she added that it is not necessary to use it in case you are inside a car with your family. Despite the fact that such a decision has caused controversy and reactions from various, even doctors are of the opinion that the use of the mask is the main measure for the reduction of Covid-19.
The head of the emergency, Skënder Brataj, invited to "Real Story" that "the mask will be put on points", because otherwise there will be a need to return to quarantine.
