The Junta de Andalucía will relax the mandatory use of masks when 75% of the population of the community has achieved total immunity , that is, at “late July or mid-August”, and considers “a false expectation of relaxation ” last words of the Government of Sánchez in this regard.
This was advanced this Thursday in an interview on Canal Sur Radio collected by Europa Press the Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre , who continues to see its use as an « essential weapon » against the prevention of Covid-19 infections.
Aguirre has spoken in this way in full open “debate” about the mandatory use of masks , after both the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez , and the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias , have pointed out in the last hours that “Soon” will no longer be mandatory in outdoor spaces.
“It is a debate that I do not like because we create a false expectation of relaxation “, has commented the Andalusian Minister of Health, who has declared thus “against opening a sterile debate ” with which “we do not win anything, only guard down”.
Along these lines, Aguirre has asserted that in Andalusia «the mask will not be lifted, first, until Law 2/2021 declines , which is the one that strictly obliges the autonomous communities to use masks in public places both open and closed ”and, second,“ until we have at least 75% total immunity among the Andalusian population ”, that is,“ group immunity ”.
” Until then I do not dare to relax the habit of putting on the mask”, has insisted Aguirre, who has insisted on defending that, behind the vaccine, the mask, “well placed and used”, is “what protects us the most »Against the contagion of the coronavirus.
On the beach or in the field
This Tuesday, the counselor defended that, currently, and “apart from vaccination, which is the most effective , what most prevents us from a possible contagion” of Covid “is the mask.”
In addition, he wanted to emphasize that ” being vaccinated does not mean that you cannot be contagious with coronavirus”, so that the vaccine can “prevent” the person who has administered it “the development of the infection”, as well as the risk of being admitted or even dying from Covid-19, but it is possible to “accumulate the virus and be the result of contagion.”
However, the counselor has pointed out that it has already been pointed out by the Board that when a person is on the beach “alone , or with his environment or nucleus” of coexistence, it is not necessary to wear it, as if he is ” alone in the field ».
