To date, the use of masks indoors has been recommended for passport holders, that is, people vaccinated or infected by coronavirus.

The above exceptions remain: masks are not mandatory for the disabled if they cannot wear them due to their health, providing services that cannot be provided with a mask, when eating in public catering establishments.

If mandatory masks are returned, the responsibility for not wearing them rests with the individual.
