The Order SND/422/2020 published on 20 May, and in force on 21 May, establishes the obligation by the general population to use the mask to reduce the SARS-CoV2 transmission.
The justification is not only because of the high transmissibility of the virus,but also because of the ability of the masks to block the emission of infected droplets, which is very important when it is not possible to keep the safety distance.
In summary of the Order regulates the mandatory use of masks, as follows:

WHO?
Those over 6 years old, except
Those who have breathing difficulty that may be aggravated by the use of a mask.
Those who cannot wear a mask for duly justified health reasons.
Disabled or dependent persons who suffer behavioral alterations that make the use of a mask unviable.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS
Obligation is excluded when:
You carry out activities which, by their very nature, are incompatible with the use of the mask
In cases of force majeure or situation of need.
SANCTIONS AND FINES
