Committee of Experts meeting
With the escalation of the epidemiological burden, the Committee of Experts is expected to meet to further relax the measures.
According to information, the Commission may suggest the abolition of the mask outdoors.
As the professor of Pulmonology, Nikos Tzanakis, told SKAI, at least outdoors, the use of a mask will not be necessary in the near future.
“We can take the masks out. “Especially if we are alone on the street or walking with our friends.”
Most countries in Europe are now lifting the measures, as the prevailing Omicron is not putting pressure on health systems.
