As of Wednesday (January 10), all the regions of Spain must make the wearing of face masks in health centres and hospitals obligatory. Some regions had already adopted this measure. Others, including the Balearics, had not.
At a press conference to explain measures to tackle the impact of the increase in cases of flu and other respiratory infections, Spain's health minister, Mónica García, explained that this obligation can be downgraded to a recommendation that masks are worn, when regions record two consecutive weeks of decrease in the cumulative incidence of cases of respiratory viruses.
She added that if regions wish to maintain the obligation, despite meeting this requirement, they will be able to do so.
These provisions, she said, will last while a 'declaration of coordinated actions' is in force. The minister was unable to state how long these coordinated actions will last.
In the Balearics, where the incidence of respiratory virus cases is the lowest in the country, the health minister, Manuela García, has described the mandating of mask-wearing by the Spanish government as an "imposition".

You shouldn't underestimate these commies. All the evidence seems to show that they've pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, while leaving zero tangible evidence of it behind. And millions of "sheep" actually believed it. Think about it. Creating a fake virus and enlisting millions of people, doctors and "experts", all over the world to fake being sick and faking their own deaths, reporting it as fact, while being sworn to secrecy for the rest of their lives. Worse yet, creating a fake vaccine that secretly is genetically engineered to turn the recipients into commies. All without leaving even a shred of verifiable evidence of any of it. Only speculation. Not only is that a magnanimously huge achievement, but it had to be incredibly expensive too. I mean, if I were going to participate in this scam and be sworn to secrecy for the rest of my life, I'd want some pretty big money for that. The payouts for those millions of secret operatives must be huge. It seems the only way to fight this diabolical communist plot is to fight fire with fire.. make up fake facts, spread supposition and innuendo. Just like the naysayers are already doing. Keep up the good work.
Donald JumpIs that the best answer you can come up with? I know who is a sheep, that's what they always says, as in your answer.
JRMHow many Health centres have you visit? Most people won't visit Health Centres, Hospitals or even Pharmacies, so don't create a mountain of nothing.
Charles, can you just get Covid and shut up please.
It's a mask not a Nickelback Tshirt.

More party politics by the far left regimes. This has nothing to do with health only control. PSOE and Sumar throwing there toys out of the pram because PP and Vox won't acknowledge there legitimate to be the ruling party. Spanish parliament is hung, it will achieve nothing for it's Spanish citizen's, why they I'm house fight. There needs to be another general election called or we will have 4 years of nothing.
Didn’t work in the past. Won’t work in the future. Thankfully most of the health centres I visit which have educated owners won’t be enforcing this farcical decision. Those who are so convinced by their effectiveness which they bang on about can wear them and “be safe.” Leave the rest of us alone. Big thumbs down but expected from our shocking enforcers. Sorry *government.
Good, sensible and timely.
