The occupational risk prevention services of companies will be responsible for assessing whether masks can no longer be used at work on April 20, according to the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, at the Interterritorial Council held in Toledo this Wednesday.

The criteria for its use will be based on the ventilation of the workspace, as well as the ability to maintain a safe distance between workers. In addition, in schools it will not be maintained "in any case", with the exception of those students or teachers who decide to use it voluntarily.

The regulations on the use of face masks will eliminate the obligation to wear masks in indoor spaces, except in health and social health centers and in transport, according to the recommendation of the Alerts Presentation. Specifically, it will be approved on April 19 at the meeting of the Council of Ministers and will enter into force the following day.
