The Department of Health says it is still compulsory to wear a mask in an enclosed indoor space – except for children in schools. This comes after a resurgence in Covid-19 cases over the past few weeks. Dr Aslam Dasoo from the Progressive Health Forum said that if the latest draft regulations are published as they are, they will not be able to withstand legal scrutiny. The department has extended the public consultation period for health regulation amendments until 5 July.
