Several things, but the most notable is that it gives the &#8220;green light&#8221; to  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remove the mask in enclosed spaces where conventions, presentations, congresses, festivals, events with shows, fairs, etc. are held.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, it is important to mention that the Government takes stock of the current situation. &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the main epidemic monitoring indicators in force (&#8230;) are, according to the last report published on April 8, 2022, at a low risk level in most of the territory,&#8221; reads the decree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, the severity of the disease in Spain has decreased significantly between the period prior to vaccination and the period after vaccination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Where will it be mandatory?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come on, the situation has changed, but some exceptions will remain. Although there is freedom not to wear the mask, a responsible use is recommended due to the vulnerability of people who transit or stay for a prolonged period of time in enclosed spaces for public use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the use of masks is still mandatory in healthcare establishments because these are areas where there may be a higher concentration of vulnerable people. On the other hand, where the probability of transmission is higher. In the means of transportation, the obligation is also maintained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important aspect is that the use of a mask is recommended in any situation where there is prolonged contact with other people at a distance of less than 1.5 meters and there are vulnerable people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6771 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/valkiriahubspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/adios-a-las-mascarillas-en-los-eventos-2022-v-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valkiriahubspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/adios-a-las-mascarillas-en-los-eventos-2022-v-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/valkiriahubspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/adios-a-las-mascarillas-en-los-eventos-2022-v-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/valkiriahubspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/adios-a-las-mascarillas-en-los-eventos-2022-v-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valkiriahubspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/adios-a-las-mascarillas-en-los-eventos-2022-v-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/valkiriahubspace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/adios-a-las-mascarillas-en-los-eventos-2022-v.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b>Good news!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not mandatory to wear a mask in the work environment.
