In Medellín, the mask will no longer have to be used in public spaces, confirmed the mayor, Daniel Quintero.
“That is thanks to the fact that the city already has more than 70% of its citizens vaccinated with the two doses (against covid-19). We have 84% of citizens vaccinated with both doses and what it means is that we free ourselves from the mask”, said the local president.
