For several weeks, there has been a significant reduction in the number of people wearing masks; both indoors and outdoors. The decline in numbers and the stability of the situation has led citizens to give up, despite the fact that restrictive measures are still in force. What do the experts suggest?
Silva Bino, head of IPH said that in open spaces masks are no longer needed, but we can not say the same for closed places.
"I would personally suggest that the masks in public should no longer be worn. But keeping masks indoors, yes. Everyone should wear masks. In markets, in shopping malls, in places where there are crowds of people should be kept. There are people who even though they have passed, have not developed immunity and can be re-infected. We can have mutants. As long as we have it between us. Covid is a new disease, one year is not enough to recognize it. "We have to be very careful, this will then be evaluated based on studies, to see the impact of vaccines."
When asked what will happen with the big events, weddings, etc., Bino said that they can be organized, but one should keep in mind a reduced number of people which means: less than 100 people!
Regarding the drastic drop in figures and new decisions, the head of the IPH confirmed that the Committee of Experts will communicate the new measures in the coming days.
"The committee will meet, it is not that it has not discussed all the measures because the discussions are also done online and there may be meetings which are not broadcast. "The committee has taken stock of the situation we are in, the numbers, everything and also compared to other countries."
The measures in force, including the time band, have expired on May 20, according to the order of the Minister of Health, Ogerta Manastirliu.
