Decision on face masks in public space soon

Today or tomorrow a decision will be given regarding the possible lifting of the obligation to wear face masks in public space, results from statements of the Minister of Health Łukasz Szumowski. The decision will depend on the epidemic situation in the provinces.

"I think that today or tomorrow we will communicate this fact," Szumowski said.

He noted, however, that this obligation may be maintained in some voivodeships

"We have three such provinces, which have an index [of virus transmission], above 1 or 1, where you may need to think about leaving this obligation, however. Other provinces in Poland already have an indicator below," he stressed.

The obligation to cover your face or wear face masks in public spaces has been imposed in connection with the coronavirus epidemic and has been in effect in Poland since April 16. However, this requirement does not apply, e.g. in forests, on plots or in the workplace, provided that the appropriate distance is maintained.
