The Interterritorial Council of the National Health System, made up of the Ministry of Health and the counselors of the autonomous communities, met this morning to give the green light for the end of the mask on the street, although it will continue to be recommended to use it if there are crowds.
Massive events, including sporting events, when standing or when the interpersonal distance of 1.5 meters cannot be kept if seated are excepted.
This measure will be definitively approved tomorrow by the Council of Ministers so that, after the publication of the decree law in the Official State Gazette on Wednesday, it enters into force next Thursday.
The mask in the street became mandatory again when the sixth wave rose strongly with the arrival of omicron and just as the Christmas holidays began. On Christmas Eve the mask returned to the outside, although many people continued to use it.
Capacity increases at sporting events
In this same meeting, the Interterritorial Council has increased the capacity in sporting events, which goes from 75% to 85% in open venues and from 50% to 75% if they are closed; These figures will be reviewed before the end of February when, some of the sources consulted point out, the entire public can resume.
Some communities, such as Madrid and Andalusia, have abstained on this point because they rejected that there were still capacity limitations.
On the other hand, at this morning’s meeting, the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, has informed the directors of the last advances digital covid certificate within the European Commission.
In this way, the Ministry of Health has reported that a proposal to modify the regulation has been published so that these certificates can be issued to people who participate in clinical trials of vaccines against covid (as is the case of the Spanish Hipra) and that the documents can be accepted by other member states so as not to apply restrictions to free movement.
In this sense, Spain has proposed the issuance of digital recovery certificates based on antigen tests and not only on PCR tests as up to now, although these advances, says Health, must follow their regulatory course to be consolidated.
