José Manuel Miñones, Minister of Health and Social Assistance of Spain announced the complete lifting of the mandatory requirement to wear medical masks in pharmacies, healthcare facilities, and nursing homes.
The state of emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has ended. The epidemiological situation in Spain has fully stabilized. On average, last week, less than 3 people were hospitalized with Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants in Spain. Thus, the decision has been made to fully abolish the mandatory use of masks.
Throughout 2023, there have been fewer than 10 patients with Covid-19 in intensive care units. The mortality rate now stands at 0.3 per 100,000 inhabitants. It seems that a complete victory over the coronavirus has been achieved. Take care of yourself... Until the next pandemic?
The exact probability of a new pandemic occurring in the world cannot be predicted. However, experts assert that the likelihood of new infectious diseases and pandemics always exists, especially in the context of globalization, climate change, urbanization, and interspecies contact. So, perhaps we shouldn't completely get rid of masks.
International health organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are actively working on monitoring and detecting new infections, as well as developing strategies for their prevention and control.
