Mask rule to end in Estonia tomorrow

 

Minister for Health Tanel Kiik has announced today that people will no longer be required to wear a mask in indoor public places from Sunday, April 3 (tomorrow).

At present, a mask must be worn on public transport and in public indoor places. However, from Sunday, April 3, this rule will be lifted, and it will no longer be required to wear a mask.

“According to the decision of Thursday’s cabinet meeting, we agreed that as soon as we reach the yellow risk level we will hold a remote session and the obligation to wear a mask will be removed the next day,” explained Minister for Health Tanel Kiik.

Earlier this week the government announced that they expected the mask rule to be lifted on April 7. The lifting of this rule comes as the number of infections and hospitalisations with the coronavirus continues to fall.
