Catalonia makes masks mandatory in public

Catalonia, the most popular autonomous region in Spain, has made face masks mandatory in public for all those aged over five.

Notably, the move has come after the region has witnessed a surge in new cases of coronavirus.

The new rule means that anyone caught without a mask faces the serious fine punishment of around €100.

One of the agricultural regions in the region Segrià has witnessed a surge in new cases in the recent past.

Anyway, the national situation is largely under control. So far, the country had recorded 252,513 cases and 28,396 deaths.

It seems that the country will come back to normal soon. Though earlier the WHO contradicted the claims in connection with the usage of masks, now it supports the idea of making masks mandatory in public.

Many countries across the world have already introduced this policy in their respective regions. There is no wrong in trying anything if it can assure some relief from the crisis.
