Obligation to wear a mask until mid-August in all closed places accessible to the public, from trains to shops. But a new extension is already in the works, although no decision would have been made yet. According to what is learned from government sources, the dpcm that will be adopted next week should substantially confirm the guidelines currently in force and the renewal of the obligation of the masks for the containment of the infection is now taken for granted. For the moment, the order signed by Minister Speranza on August 1 requires the use of protective devices until August 15.
