Spain said on Friday it will lift most COVID-19 restrictions starting next week, following in the footsteps of other European countries.
The Western European country will no longer require mask-wearing in outdoor places, in a move to coexist with the virus.
“The cabinet plans to approve an end to mandatory outdoor mask-wearing at its weekly meeting on Tuesday and make it effective two days later,” Spain’s Health Minister Carolina Darias said in a statement to La SER radio station on Friday.
“We said it would last only while it was strictly necessary,” Spain’s Health Minister added.
This move came after the country noticed a decrease in cases several days ago, considering the COVID-19 situation to have eased, according to Spain’s Health Minister.
Recently, many European countries have eased COVID-19 restrictions, including the UK, Ireland, France, and Sweden.
As of yesterday, Sweden said it will remove all COVID-19 restrictions by February 9, following the high vaccination rates among its population.
