Proposed Bill or Initiative
Author: Angel Herrera, Partner – BDS, Member of Littler Global
Recently, it was reported that the Ministry of Health of Honduras had decided to suspend the mandatory use of masks within the national territory, with the exception of health care centers, pharmacies and maquiladora companies. However, the Minister of Health, Dr. Jose Manuel Matheu commented that the Ministry of Health lacks the power to eliminate the use of the mask since this was decreed by a law enacted in 2020. Therefore, the end of the mandatory use of face masks can only be decreed by an act of Congress.
