RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – From April 14, the use of masks will no longer be mandatory in certain places in Chile, ending a measure that has been in force since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.
Thus, it will not be necessary to wear a mask in places where it is possible to maintain at least one meter of distance between people. However, this measure is not universal, so it will be necessary to continue using masks in certain places.
The first thing is that, as long as an area is not in a “Low Sanitary Impact” Phase, the use of masks continues to be mandatory. In addition, on the sides that do comply with this condition, there must be at least one meter of distance between people.
