Mandatory wearing of face masks will be abolished in Estonia from Sunday

From tomorrow, April 3, you no longer have to wear a mask in public places. However, it is still recommended to wear the mask in crowded areas and on public transport, especially for at-risk groups.

“On average, more than 1,000 people are diagnosed with coronavirus a day, and an average of almost 30 people a day go to hospital for severe coronavirus disease,” Kallas said. “So please continue to be careful and take care of others, and if you haven’t received the vaccine yet, please get vaccinated. Tomorrow we can live without masks, but what happens next is in our own hands. ”

With the abolition of the mask, the requirements for disinfection and dispersal will also be abolished, but also in this context it is desirable to keep the distance between crowded areas and disinfect hands as much as possible.

The risk level for the spread of coronavirus in Estonia has decreased from a high to a medium level, which corresponds to the yellow level in the risk matrix. This morning, the average number of infections in the last seven days was 1,027, and the seven-day average number of new infections requiring hospitalization is 29.86.

On April 2, there were 274 coronavirus-infected patients in hospitals in Estonia. Three people living with coronavirus died last day.
