The use of face masks is required in most Mexican states. In some cases, the face mask requirement applies only to public spaces. In others, residents must wear face masks while using public transportation or while they are outdoors. Therefore, it is important for companies that are still operating (because they are considered to be conducting essential activities pursuant to the Decree published by the Ministry of Health in the Official Journal of the Federation on March 31, 2020) to be able to provide face masks to their employees.
