In Spain, due to the spread of flu and COVID infection, it has been mandated to wear masks in health care centers across the country for the well-being of the public.
Spanish Health Minister Monica Garcia has made it mandatory to wear masks in health care centers across the country from Wednesday as the country faces a spike in flu and covid infections.
“We have to protect the most vulnerable,” Moneca-Garcia said.
The Ministry of Health has mandated the wearing of masks in hospitals and healthcare centers while recommending the wearing of masks in private clinics, pharmacies and other medical facilities such as dentist offices.
Last week in Spanish regions, patients, visitors and hospital staff were ordered to wear masks. Spain’s central government proposed on Monday to extend the measure nationwide.
Spain was among the last European countries to end the requirement to wear face masks after the Covid pandemic. People were instructed to wear masks on public transport by February 2023 and in health centers and pharmacies by July.
