The region of Catalonia will make masks mandatory in all public spaces, the regional president said on Wednesday, as cases continue to climb in the region.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

Spain currently has a nationwide rule on wearing masks, but they are only obligatory on public transport. In all other situations, masks are not mandatory if people can stay 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) apart.

But starting on Thursday, everyone will need to use face masks in all public spaces in Catalonia or risk a €100 ($113) fine.

Exceptions will be made for exercise or “activities not compatible with wearing a mask,” said Catalan Health Minister Alba Verges at a news conference.

The news came as Spain’s Health Ministry confirmed 383 more COVID-19 cases on Wednesday. That is up slightly from Tuesday and mainly the result of some 67 active outbreaks. It also registered seven more deaths from the virus, bringing the total to 28,396.
