The spokesperson for the Canary Islands Government, Julio Pérez, explained this Thursday that the regional Executive is not going to extend the mandatory use of masks, but will intensify its "surveillance."
Pérez said that the Government has decided to "intensify the control of current regulations" because "today the epidemiological situation does not require the mandatory nature to be extended beyond what it already is."
This was explained by the councilor and spokesperson after the meeting of the Governing Council that took place in the capital of Tenerife, headed by the president of the regional Executive, Ángel Víctor Torres.
More sanctions for non-compliance with the mask
Pérez insisted that masks "are mandatory in a large part of the activities" that are carried out on a day-to-day basis and that acts such as drinking parties without a mask are not allowed with the current regulations, so more than looking for regulatory changes, they will insist on "instructing files" and "sanctions" to exercise "stricter control."
"Some of the greatest dangers occur in private settings: in family gatherings, private parties, meetings and private settings," said the Canarian Minister of Public Administrations, Justice and Security, who appealed to "the sense of responsibility" of those involved, because it is clear that "people do what they want in their home." Pérez also stated that when breaches are detected they will be sanctioned, which he hopes will increase its use.
