Some countries have mandated that masks be worn even outdoors and even when there is no one around. This has been the case in Poland and Romania for many months, for instance. The Polish health minister openly stated there is little scientific basis for this, he just thinks it is more likely that citizens will have their masks on when entering shops or meeting people if they have to wear it at all times. Think about how much it sucks if you are a glasses wearer and your glasses are fogging up all the time (you can't even see the traffic lights when you want to safely cross the street), or how much it sucks to cycle long distances with this thing on your face. I think a lot of Europeans would readily accept wearing a mask in shops for the next year. But yes, getting rid of this outdoor mask requirement would be a big relief and major return to normal.
