VIDEO: It's more affordable to wear a 200 dram mask than spend 14 days in the hospital, says Minister

During a press conference today, Auroranews reminded Minister Arsen Torosyan that in the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak, it was stated that only people with specific symptoms needed to wear medical masks. As of May 25, wearing masks becomes mandatory in Armenia. How effective will this mandate be, considering that some people may not have the financial means to afford masks and gloves for several days or to wear them multiple times?

The Minister's response can be found in the video.
