According to reports, the country’s prime minister Pedro Sanchez said in an address on Tuesday (8 March) masks will no longer be mandatory indoors "soon, very soon".
Face coverings were first introduced by Spain in all public spaces on 20 May 2020 in response to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Their obligatory use outdoors was only lifted last month.
According to the Evening Standard, Sanchez said: "We have the lowest cumulative rate of coronavirus right now in Europe and soon, very soon, when our health minister says so, we’ll be able to remove the mandatory status of face masks indoors."
