Poland scraps mandatory masks

Poles will no longer have to wear masks outside starting this weekend as long as they abide by social distancing rules, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Wednesday. The move came as the government further eased the EU member's anti-virus measures.
Morawiecki told reporters: "There will be a general rule: in public spaces, where possible, it will be necessary to maintain a social distance of two metres (six and a half feet) but face masks will not be required. "Though in the case of two people walking side by side, we still recommend that you wear masks," he added.
