On the 3rd of April, mandatory indoor mask wearing on mainland Portugal will cease, however, the President of the Regional Government, Miguel Albquerque, says that Madeira will not follow the recommendations of the Directorate-General for Health, and that he will wait for the Regional Director of Health to give the all clear.
When asked by reporters when mandatory mask wearing would end, he said that he left futurology to others, and when asked to give a possible date, he declined to reply. Although he did confirm that the island’s social calendar is beginning to resume, and people are being sensible.
