Turkey dropped on Tuesday the requirement of mask-wearing in indoor places, as part of the country’s easing restrictions, reports MAP.

“Mask-wearing measure will still be required in outdoor places, such as public transportation services and health institutions,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan specified, according to the same source.

This move came after the Euro-Asian country noticed a drop in COVID-19 cases.

COVID-19 infections are decreasing in Turkey, with 2,493 new cases reported on average each day, representing 2% of the peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker released on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, the World Health Organization (WHO) said the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths reported worldwide is showing declining trends.
