Spanish government removes last Covid-19 mask-wearing policy
The country has been gradually phasing out rules on wearing face coverings
The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has updated its travel advice to Spain, following its government’s latest Covid-19 update.
The Spanish government has approved a measure to remove the requirement to wear face masks in pharmacies and health and care centres – marking the end of mask-wearing requirements in the country.
Over the past two years, Spain has been retracting the requirements in different spaces. Firstly, the need to wear a face covering in public, then on public transport and now in healthcare settings.
The FCDO published on its website: “The Spanish government has declared an end to the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and has lifted all compulsory requirements to wear face coverings.”
This effectively marks the end of all remaining Covid-19 restrictions in Spain in time for the summer holiday season.
