Outdoor masks become obligatory in Italy
By EUobserver
Italy on Wednesday made it obligatory to wear face masks outdoors nationwide to stop the spread of coronavirus, Reuters reported. Italy, which was one of the most-affected countries in the EU during the first wave, has been recording fewer new cases than some of its neighbours, like Spain or France. Italy's health ministry recorded 3,678 new Covid-19 cases in 24 hours - exceeding the highest daily tally since April.
