Spain is reintroducing mandatory mask wearing in healthcare facilities just six months after the requirement was abolished.

Regulations on the use of face masks in Spain have been brought back into force across the country due to a surge in Covid and flu cases, and hotspots such as Valencia and the Canary Islands are already implementing measures.
