"We are now coming out of Covid, we are moving towards normal life. We have Covid behind us on one condition: that we act as serious and responsible people. We in Campania will maintain the obligation to wear a mask outdoors until the end of February".
Thus the president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, speaking on the sidelines of a visit to the Santa Maria delle Grazie hospital in Pozzuoli (Naples). On the use of masks outdoors, according to the governor, "the message that has been given to Italy is the wrong message, irresponsible.
It seems that masks are no longer required, but must be worn outside because there are at least two moments in which dangers arise: when entering and exiting schools, when we have hundreds of kids on top of each other, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights during the movida.
The reason why it is good to be cautious is because - De Luca concluded - we have situations in which it becomes difficult to say 'carry the mask in your pocket, then put it on, then take it off'. These are stupid things. A little sacrifice and, within a month, we will be out”.
