Italy to scrap mandatory masks outdoors from June 28
The Peninsula
ROME: Italy will lift a requirement that people wear face masks outdoors from June 28, the government said late on Monday, as COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations decline.
Mandatory masks were imposed in October last year, when the country was entering a second wave of the epidemic and authorities were struggling to curb surging infections. Mario Draghi's government has been steadily lifting restrictions since April, opening activities such as restaurants, cinemas and gyms and allowing freedom of movement around the country.More Related News
