Coronavirus: Scrapping of face mask mandate under discussion
May 23, 2022
Members of the scientific team are expected in the next few days to submit recommendation regarding the use of face masks indoors and whether the measure against Covid-19 should be scrapped.
Reports on Monday suggested that epidemiologists are currently split between those in favour of abolishing face masks indoors and others who believe the measure should remain in place in case of a possible new variant after the summer months.
Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas will then convey the epidemiologists’ recommendations to the cabinet before deliberating on the issue.
