In October last year, face masks were made a requirement in all public places – indoors and outdoors – across Italy in response to rising coronavirus infection rates.To get more news about china type II mask factory outlet, you can visit tnkme.com official website.
The Italian rules state that masks must be worn at all times when out of the house, indoors and outdoors, “except in cases where, due to the characteristics of the place or the circumstances, isolation is continuously guaranteed.”

But on Monday the Italian health minister announced that mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory outdoors from next week, based on new advice from the government’s scientific advisory panel (CTS).Here’s a look at why you’ll still need to make sure you have a mask with you at all times in Italy.
Wearing masks in public indoor spaces, including shops, cinemas, theatres, cultural sites such as museums and galleries and offices remains compulsory for the moment – these rules remain unchanged under the new ordinance signed by the Italian health minister on Wednesday.
Face masks will also remain compulsory in stadiums, queues, markets, and other busy outdoor places.This also includes areas outside public buildings such as schools and churches during busy hours.
Social distancing rules also remain in place, meaning you’re still supposed to stay at least one metre away from anyone you don’t live with.Health Minister Roberto Speranza told reporters on Wednesday morning that, under the new ordinance. “masks must be worn [outdoors] only when distance cannot be maintained.”
After reviewing the rules on Monday, the CTS stated that there were various situations where you would still have to wear a mask outdoors, saying “people should always carry a mask with them so that they can wear it whenever such conditions arise”.
The CTS confirmed that all other existing rules on wearing masks would remain in place, stating: “the established protocols for the safe operation of economic and recreational activities must be respected”.This means that staff working in public-facing roles, and anyone working with people who they do not live with, will need to continue wearing a mask at work.
