The Minister of Health, Jorge López., indicated this Wednesday that the Government will evaluate the possibility that the use of masks will no longer be mandatory, at least in the open air, if 80% of the target population is no longer mandatory has the third or booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

We still have a large vulnerable group that could be infected and, with it, return to high rates of hospitalized patients, which is why we cannot (remove the mask) yet, if we do not reach 80% (of vaccinated with three doses). We have to get to that, otherwise we can't think about lifting restrictions,” said the minsa portfolio holder.
