Health experts say we will wear masks for many years

Until there is a vaccine against Coronavirus, health experts believe that we will live a few years forced to wear a mask and respect a certain physical distance. More and more countries are resorting to these measures after new outbreaks of infections began to reappear, Moldova 1 reports.

Today, wearing a mask is mandatory in the Spanish region of Catalonia in all open spaces and regardless of whether or not physical distance is maintained. The measure follows an increase in the number of cases of COVID-19.

Galicia, another severely affected and already quarantined region, could also take even more drastic measures.

In Germany, the first employees of the country's largest slaughterhouse closed due to a outbreak of Coronavirus returned to work after three weeks. More than 1,700 workers were infected and two districts were quarantined.

Greece wants to step up border testing procedures for tourists after several people tested positive in recent days.

The British government supports HoReCa and has announced that it will give people £500 million worth of vouchers next month to increase consumption in restaurants, cafes and pubs.

The United States surpasses its own record in the number of infections, over 61,000 Americans tested positive in 24 hours. In Texas, doctors and nurses fight to keep patients alive every minute.

Under these circumstances, the chief epidemiologist of the White House stressed the importance of wearing the mask, even if President Donald Trump refuses to wear it in public. At the same time, the governor of the American state of New Jersey announced that the wearing of masks is mandatory in the open air to prevent the spread of the new Coronavirus.
