Wearing masks in all public open spaces will be mandatory in Armenia, said Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan on Wednesday.

"Even proper wearing of homemade masks significantly reduces the intensity of the spread of the infection," he said.

According to Avninyan, the current situation of the healthcare system has been assessed. 

He noted that they consider some extreme measures, as well as the return to the restrictions on movement, the return of the ban on economic activity, as well as the possibility of declaring a curfew.
