Campania Governor Vincenzo De Luca on
Thursday signed an order making it obligatory to wear facemasks
in open-air public places in the southern region due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, and no longer just in enclosed areas.
Campania has registered an increase in coronavirus cases in
recent weeks.
The obligation kicks in immediately and applies until October 4.
"It is necessary to immediately restore responsible behaviour,
especially with the schools (now) being open," De Luca said.
"If we want to avoid across-the-board closures, the utmost
rigour is needed".
