The CTS panel of experts advising the
government on its battle against COVID-19 is set to meet on
Monday to give its opinion on ending the obligation to wear
facemasks outdoors in Italy given the improvement in contagion
data.
The obligation could be removed as of June 28, when the whole
nation is expected to classed as a low-COVID-19-risk white zone
or from the following week, sources have said.
New tests, meanwhile, are arriving in Italy on Monday to
recognise the Delta variant of the coronavirus.
As of Monday people arriving in Italy from the UK will have to
spend five days in quarantine because of the spread of the Delta
variant there.
