Masks in Turkey are becoming mandatory everywhere: EU

Masks are becoming mandatory in Turkey in all places except the home, Turkish private television NTV reported.

This is stated in a circular from the country’s Ministry of the Interior, which contains the new measures to combat the coronavirus. The circular was sent to all district administrations to monitor compliance with the ordinance in some places, reports BTA.

The mandatory use of protective masks is introduced not only indoors but also in open spaces such as parks, streets, beaches, gardens. The order is also valid for offices, public transport, factories and any other place except homes.

After 24 hours, restaurants, cafes and other entertainment venues are prohibited from playing music. Standing passengers will not be allowed on public transportation, the new rules say.
