Maximum five Ffp2 templates per customer: is the line followed by the public pharmacies of San Marino, in response to one growing demand. Mandatory in many situations, some pharmacies already have them out of stock. But the reserves are there, ensures the ISS, which has chosen to limit the number of purchases per user to allow everyone to buy them and has some order new ones, so as not to raise prices.

At the moment, in Iss pharmacies, the cost of this mask – more performing than the surgical – is 1.10 euros. Even private individuals can sell them and, to avoid possible torture, from the Secretariat to Health let it be known that they are considering whether to establish a controlled price. The deliveries, explains the Secretariat, are slow down for the Christmas closures of many suppliers. We are therefore evaluating with the Pharmaceutical Center how to manage the next orders.

But in what situations should it be wear the Ffp2? A San Marino it is mandatory on means of transport public; students under the age of 12 are excluded if the capacity on the bus is limited. It is also necessary in the Closed places, including work, in which it is not possible to guarantee seats for everyone and whenever it is not possible to keep a distance of 1 and a half meters. To the sport events indoors, the Ffp2 is instead “preferable” to the others.

In Italy, with the new decree approved yesterday, it will be necessary to use the Ffp2 in places at risk of crowding and where there is a high concentration of people. Also mandatory at cinema and in the theater, in museums, in the stages and in both local and long-distance means of transport.
