(Finance) – “The obligation to use masks will remain in the Rsa, in the hospital wards Of infectious diseases and in Emergency room”. The Minister of Health said, Horace Schillaci, on the sidelines of the ceremony for the awarding of the medals of merit for public health at the Quirinale, specifying that today he will sign the order in the field. In the bar, canteen and hospital parking areas, masks should no longer be mandatory or recommended after the April 30 deadline.
The new ordinance that the technicians of the Ministry of Health are working on should provide for a reduction in the areas in which patients, staff and visiting relatives will have to wear a mask. In areas where it will no longer be mandatory, the idea is to leave one recommendation atuse of the protective device if there are elderly, frail and immunosuppressed patients, to protect them. The final decision will be up to the health directors of hospitals, medical directors of local structures and family doctors and paediatricians in their surgeries and waiting rooms.
