The mask regime, which has been in force in Turkmenistan since the summer of 2020, will be partially canceled. From June 1 this year, medical masks will only need to be worn in all modes of transport and indoors. This was announced at today's meeting of the Government, the information program "Watan" of the Turkmen television reported.
