The Balearic Islands claim that wearing mask outside to protect against the coronavirus is only transitory and proportional

Negueruela asserts that there would be no economic coronavirus constraints, and he is considering extending the use of the passport covid

Although the central government will approve today in an extraordinary council of ministers that the mask should be worn outside to protect against the coronavirus on a mandatory basis in outdoor spaces, the Balearic Government is not fully agreed with a measure that is already known to its citizens to be effective.

During the presidents’ conference, the head of the central government, Pedro Sanchez, announced the measure, and there was the first questioning of it by the president Francina Armengol, who would have claimed that the obligation to wear a mask outdoors is limited in time and exceptions to it, revealed the Govern Iago Negueruela’s spokesman. Later, he added that the requirement to wear masks outside should be limited to the most congested areas.

Fair and understandable measures against coronavirus

The Tourism Minister also mentioned the social dialogue table that will be conducted today to “adapt to our reality” the measures that came out of the presidents’ meeting yesterday. Because, while admitting that we are in a tough period that would put a pressure on our health-care system, the spokesman also highlighted that the decisions that must be made must be “fair and understandable.”

On what will bring the Government to the table of social dialogue today, where he plans to agree on new actions to prevent the sixth wave from being unleashed by the hand of the contagious variant ómicron, Negueruela was tight-lipped, arguing that you cannot advance measures that are intended to be negotiated the next day with social and institutional partners.

However, in reference to the presidential conference’s discussion of extending the validity of the coronavirus passport, he did not exclude out expanding the necessity to present it in places other than those already established.

“We will discuss this topic tomorrow (today, at the social dialogue table).” “However, people who have not been vaccinated should not attend dinners or meetings with others,” Negueruela said, emphasizing that “this is about health and collective conscience.”
