QCOSTARICA – The Ministry of Health has done away with making masks mandatory in healthcare facilities, a rule that was put in place when the pandemic first started.
Now that the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that Covid-19 isn’t a global health emergency anymore, Health Minister Mary Munive has made it clear that masks no longer need to be worn in medical settings.
The Ministry of Health has also instructed public and private medical centers to do a risk and needs assessment yearly, appoint a permanent coordination team and set up a monitoring system for Covid-19.
