Madness! there is nobody on the streets where I live anyway! its a dead tourist resort and will become even worse. Bonkers
Masks outdoors What is this stupidity? – other than another blow to the already suffering tourism industry in Spain? There is no scientific proof whatsoever that is this new decree has any positive effects on the pandemic spread. Other rules and measures are understandable but his is ridiculous. I for once will not visit Spain, although I have a second home in Mallorca, and that certainly applies to the majority of people with a second home in Spain. Pedro Sanchez has to get his wits together, otherwise Spain will heavily suffer as it is very dependent on the tourism industry. Utter stupidity seems to be the prevailing stance of the Spanish Government. Olle Bjoerk, Es Camp de Mar, Mallorca
Useless solution, but give them the benefit of the doubt, as the editor would say.
Unbelievable absolutely Nuts I was wondering what they were going to do but wearing Masks outdoors was not under the radar , No Words !!!!!
Isn't it funny that Pedro Sanchez's brother is the biggest supplier of face masks to Spain. Convenient.
How ridiculous. Good luck I for one will not be par taking. Fine me!
I have no problems with wearing a mask in any shop or anywhere inside where there is public. But outside......that is just stupid. And if I put sneakers on and a track suit, you suddenly don't need one??
A useless measure combined with the army 'on the streets', a dangerous precedent. We live in worrying times. BTW it appears that omicron is mild and will burn out very quickly.
