    The use of masks in Guanajuato will cease to be mandatory and become a  “recommendation” starting , Thursday.

    This was mentioned this morning by the Secretary of Health, Daniel Alberto Diaz  Martinez, in a radio interview.

    After the undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, Hugo Lopez Gatell, mentioned that the use of face masks is no longer essential, now the state agency announced that there could be a modification in Guanajuato on this measure.

    He highlighted that among the places where its use should prevail are public transportation and schools.

    But he said that on Thursday at the meeting of the State Health Safety Committee of Guanajuato, the criteria of obligatory use could be modified, “we are going to leave it as a recommendation until the WHO decrees the end of the pandemic”.

    Although he reiterated that “it is worthwhile, especially if a person has not completed their vaccination schedule, or has risk factors, that they continue to take care of themselves. A person who has symptoms and signs of the disease should continue to use it”.
